Yes I did, and it was the best $200 I ever spent on VOIP equipment.  
Relatively inexpensive and like I said it eliminated the guessing games and 
queueing garbage.

The autoconfigure did *not* work.  Several little problems but all solveable.

1) 2.4.26 is not supported at the time of this email.  It's coming, they say, 
but they have some other pressing issues with other equipment and customers.  
(2.4.26 is closer to 2.6.x in terms of some of the driver backend)

2) The autoconfigure says it'll compile in ADSL but it doesn't...  I found I 
had to do a manual config and then specify all the protocols it said were 
default (ADSL among them) -- the screen looked as if I'd done an default 
install but I had to do it manually.

That's it.  After that it built, link went up without any hassle and it's been 
working great.

Now, having said that, I've been having perfect audio for the past 3 weeks but 
this past week I am having choppy outgoing audio but my bandwidth consumption 
is well below the maximum so I'm trying to track down what changed.  I don't 
believe it to be a problem with the sangoma card, though.
