I run an asterisk box with 2HFC cheap (billion) cards (7.99 GBP ~ 1
Euro?). It's our own phone system (not a clients' site). It works well
now, but occassionally it's a bit fiddly. It took me a while to install
and get rid of all the echo, kernel panics and segfaults ( I went
through isdn4linux, capi, misdn and finally ended up with bristuff).
Unless you got a house full of technicians you probably won't save much
by buying cheaper ISDN BRI cards in the long term ;)
