First of all, this list is not for soliciting sales.

Second, the cards you are referring to are Jim Dixon Zapata Tormenta
cards, not Digium cards or "Digium-like" cards.

Those cards are open source GPLed hardware, thanks to Jim Dixon.

http://www.zapatatelephony.org

Anybody who wants to, can download the gerber files from Jim's site
and make their own cards. No royalties, no license fees.

So, if you are making your own Zaptel cards using Jim's work, you
should at least have the courtesy giving credit to the person who
developed and released those cards under the GPL: Jim Dixon.

Anybody who wants 500 units, not interested in the support Digium
provides, should consider making their own cards.

> don't waste money :)

People buy those cards from Digium for good reasons: Digium provide
support. They don't consider paying for support to be a waste of
money.
