Very true, but I guess the point I'm trying to make is that whether or not 
Digium supports or runs this list, my understanding is that this list isn't 
intended to be a "Digium hardware support forum", it's intended to be a 
general Asterisk Users Discussion forum.

I would never expect someone to call up Digium's support channels and expect 
to get support for setting up a clone card.  But this isn't Digium Support. 
The guy wasn't asking Digium to help solve his problem, he was asking 
'people who use Asterisk' to help solve his problem.  I'd be willing to bet 
there are a lot of people reading this list who have at least one clone card 
sitting in a server at home.

It's a Users Discussion.  ie.  People who use Asterisk converge here to talk 
about Asterisk in all it's forms.

Whether or not Digium runs/supports the list is beside the point.

I don't really disagree with you about the cost factor - often times the 
pain saved by buying a $125 device is worth the extra money.  However, not 
everyone has that luxury.  While some of us (myself included) prefer to 
simply fix the problem by throwing money at it, a lot of people use Linux 
and OSS products not only because it interests them but because they're 
scraping out a living that doesn't let them work on anything more than the 
hand-me-down hardware that they've coersed off of the various people they've 
helped over the years, and they spend the time making it all work because 
time is what they've got - not money.
