[Asterisk-Users] Intel Modem vs Digium Cards

[Steve Totaro]

its an asterisk user's mailing list.  you can use asterisk with generic
cards so whats the problem with asking for help?  just dont call digium for
support.

is there a paypal "donate" button for digium anywhere?  of not, there should
be.
