[Asterisk-Users] digitnetworks card issues?

[Jeremy McNamara]

DigitNetworks (and the like) are selling inferior, driver compatible 
hardware, which is ABSOLUTELY NOT the same hardware Digium chose to be 
their X100P.

If you buy a real X100P from Digium or an approved reseller, you will 
not have problems.  I have solved horrid echo and feedback, flaky 
reception of caller*id and one-way audio problems by simply swapping an 
X100P clone for known Digium X100P card.

I don't want to get off on a rant here, but, when Digium decided to 
re-market a modem, they did not just stroll into a some Electronic Mega 
Super Center and pick the first modem they saw. There was quite a bit of 
research and development into finding a very specific chipset for very 
specific reasons.  All of the clones out there run very different 
chipsets, which just happen to be driver compatible to what Digium has 
added into zaptel. Some of them may work, but in my own experience many 
of them do not.

I feel Digium was very creative by finding another use for seemingly 
useless modem and I gladly pay them the extra few dollars to rest 
assured their will be no "show stopper" problems in my own deployments.

Of course this is only my opinion, I could be wrong(tm)
