Aculab cards provide an industry benchmark for reliability, density of channels and the widest range of functions supported.

The channel driver Linux package is provided in source code form under a cost free licence from Aculab. It is available via the Aculab installation tool (AIT) after registering your interest using the request form on Aculab's website at: http://www.aculab.com/products/forms/asterisk_form.htm 

The channel driver has been designed to work with Aculab's Linux telephony software, which you will also need. This can also be downloaded free of charge via the AIT, which you can download from the software downloads page on Aculab's website: http://www.aculab.com 

Note that users of the AIT need a password and username to run the installation package and download Aculab software. A default password and username combination (that is updated regularly) is published on the software downloads page of Aculab's website.
