There were several cards manufactured with the 537/md3200 chips. One
model was designed for US use while others were for global use. The
x100p was the US type. An individual from the UK was just implementing 
a 537/md3200 type in the last week and had some echo issues. Not sure 
which exact model he had though; but best guess was a US type. (The
US type used a Silicon Labs 3012 chip for 600 ohm pstn lines, while
the global version used a different chip for other line impedences.)

There should be plenty of digium x100p's around for very reasonable
prices given they've been removed from the digium web site.
