[asterisk-users] Grandstream GXW-4108 8 port FXO

[cb]

Has anyone used either the 8 port or 4 port FXO device from  
Grandstream? (GXW-4108 or 4104).

They seem to be the lowest cost multi port FXO devices that I can  
find, so I'm getting ready to buy the 8 port version. I just want to  
see if there are any opinions on the device before I commit to the  
purchase.

If people have not used the Grandstream, are there any issues with  
using similar devices (that is, FXO devices that connect to the  
Asterisk server via SIP over Ethernet).


I am looking to connect at least 8 PSTN lines, and as many as 12 or  
16 to Asterisk (Currently using Trixbox, but I'm also looking at  
either AsterixNow or just building from scratch on a bare linux box).  
Money is a major concern in my purchases, which is why I'm looking at  
the Grandstream (even used on ebay, I don't seem to be able to find  
8-16 port FXO devices for less than the approx $50 per port the  
Grandstream will get me... plus it has a video input for a security  
camera which is just a plus to me as installing a web capable  
surveillance camera at the location is on my to do list).
