There's quite a few, not all use this list (yet no one wants to test my
australian ringtone patch)

It works but most of it isn't A-tick'd, therefore it's illegal to use ($20k
fine). The TE410P is the exception. Depends what connecting to, search the
mailing list archives for specifics.

> Alternate hardward for Aussie if above is an issues?

There's alternatives but that discussion isn't received well in the mailing
list. Most people i believe just use digium hardware regardless of A-tick.

Buy straight from digium :)
