Logan, <br>I have a hobby box set up running asterisk at home with two winmodems, not digium clones, and it works just fine. As long as debian has drivers for it there shouldn't be any problem. Granted I have only set this up in at home. As for FXS cards the best way to go there is to either use a softphone or get a sipura box off of E-bay. Shouldn't be that expensive and most of them let you run two phones. I am using an SPA-2000 which has been replaced by the 2002 but you should be able to find one on e-bay. Hope this helps.

<br>> Funny you would say that - I have a box running with a pair of X100P<br>> clones at the moment. I did have to tinker with transmit and receive<br>> levels, but, since then, they have run just fine on my old 533 MHz
<br>> Celeron box, with no echo problems on 1.2.0 beta2 or rc2. I<br>> have them<br>> hooked into the voice mail ports on a Panasonic KX-TA624, and<br>> managed to<br>> integrate it in as a voice mail system.
<br>><br>> The main advantage for the TDM400 is that you can add FXS<br>> ports, or you<br>> could have four FXOs if you needed them. Still, the TDM400's cost is<br>> rather steep for a "hobby" box.
<br>><br>> I wouldn't recommend trying to use more than one X100P card<br>> unless you<br>> can insure they get separate IRQs, and going with more than two would<br>> probably not be a good idea.<br>><br>
> Russ<br>Hi,<br><br>I am not surprised you managed to sort out your echo problems quickly<br>and easily. You see, the Panasonic KX-TA624 behaves the same every time,<br>while a PSTN line would have a varying quality, noise, echo every time,
<br>depending on the other end sometimes.<br><br>Yiannis.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by <a href="http://Easynews.com">Easynews.com</a> --<br><br>Asterisk-Users mailing list
