I'm not the person who wrote the original message, but I do know that 
Rhino will also ssh into a box if there is a problem. I started using 
Rhino cards because, at the time, Digium did not offer an analog card 
with built in echo cancellation. Most of my systems are single PCI 
setups (so even a separate echo cancellation card that requires a 2nd 
PCI slot does me no good).

Apart from the occasional echo problems (which can be minimized with 
tuning), the TDM400p was a decent card.  I'd buy Digium cards again but 
as a small business owner, it's much easier to stock replacement parts 
for one vendor (if someone's phone system goes down, they can't wait a 
day for replacement parts).

Yeah, that annoys the heck out of me too!  If you're going to criticize 
or recommend something post with your real identity.  That way people 
can make a reasonable conclusion on your advice.

Who knows...perhaps the Shadow knows [1].
