You do have to be careful with Sangoma.  We recently had a Digium 4-Port 
T-1 card blow up.  There was some kind of surge somewhere and we lost 
the card (there was also a channel bank that was installed by the telco 
that how blown up).  I was VERY stupid and decided to get two 2-Port 
Sangoma cards to replace the blown 4-Port Digium card.  We use DACS and 
DACS RBS quite a bit on this specific system and until Sangoma sent me 
an unreleased version of their driver the Sangoma card did not support 
DACS RBS.

Sangoma does make good cards and have good support.  You just should not 
expect them to be a totally transparent replacement for a Digium card.

Prototype a system first.
