[Asterisk-Users] Re: E1 card for Asterisk

[telmo at n1.com]

Follow-up to the list:

The boss decided to take over my private project (so the money's no longer coming
from my own purse -- yeepee!) and, after doing some research of his own and
talking to the Sangoma people, he decided to go the Sangoma way. I will keep the
list posted on our success/failures, as I will be heavily involved with this on
the technical side.
