[Asterisk-Users] X100P Clone, Which one?

[Paul Fielding]

Ummm... This isn't a Digium Run list.  This is a Digium sponsored list.  My 
understanding (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) is that this list *is 
not* a Digium support list.  This list is a forum for Asterisk discussion by 
users.  As such, I would suggest that all topics of discussion for all 
hardware manufacturers are fair game.

If one isn't supposed to talk about clone cards in this forum, then this 
list should not be called Asterisk Users, it should be called Digium 
Discussion.

Asterisk is an OSS product, and as such should be heavily promoted for use 
with all products, not just Digium's.  If Digium is going to take offence to 
that, then they shouldn't be OSSing the software.

There's plenty of discussion around non Digium hardware on this list.  If 
you're going to get pissed off about people discussing non-Digium hardware 
then get pissed off about *all* of it, not just the X100P clone cards.

Heck, Digium doesn't even make the X100P any more.  And it's generally 
accepted on this list that the TDM cards have problems.  So I can't say I 
blame people for looking for cheap alternatives.

In any event, if this is a Digium Only list, then it needs to be identified 
as such, rather than promoted as an Asterisk list.   And if that's the case, 
then I beg someone to start a non-Digium affilitated list so that we can 
have free and open discussion without worrying about getting slammed on....

regards,

Paul
