[asterisk-users] Please Advice on Best High traffic fxo gateway/cards

[James Mutuku]

Brian,
     I agree with you. Google has all the answers, but not the 
experience. The reason I use lists is to get opinions 'experienced' 
users. From experience, product manuals say one thing and when the 
rubber meets the road, its a different story.

Thanks though for your kind comments
