[Asterisk-Users] FXO cards

[Tim Thompson]

FWIW,

Most Telcos (At least for us CLECs) it becomes more cost effective for
us to run a DS1 to a customers location if they have 5 CO lines or more.

I would hunt around for a company that would do that for you.  

If you get the T100P Card @ $500 it's cheaper than 6 $100 FXO cards.
Telco can take the T1 right into your * box and you'll have plenty of
channels to spare in the future.

It is possible but not recommended to put more then 2 x100p's in a box.
I
have a system with a TDM400 and 4 X100p's.

Key is to get a motherbrd that lets you assign IRQ resources since you
do not want the above cards to share IRQ's (That said the TDM and an
X100
do share an IRQ without a problem but this is a 2.4GHZ machine)


Using more then one box is best.

As for the FXO modules I have passed out many many times holding my
breath! :)
