[Asterisk-Users] CE certification for Europe

[Klaus-Peter Junghanns]

Hi d hintion,

hmmm...getting approvals for europe isnt that easy.
because you get the approval for a combination of hardware
and driver software, so when you change the driver you loose
the approval.

oh yes, sure you can produce the cards and sell them cheaper,
but that doesnt take the development time of the zaptel drivers
into account. opening up a competition against digium based on
their software and GPLed hardware design doesnt sound good to me .....
rather sounds like M$ style to me.

regards
kapejod
