[Asterisk-Users] BRI cards, HFC, and bristuff - a general question to clear up my understanding.

[Rob Lith]

Essentially just modems. If you're looking to try/test and get to know
Asteirsk and have BRI lines readily available going the Duxbury card
route is a good cheap entry route and the're only ±R200. If you
looking to a more serious production environment in a commercial
environment then you would do well to look at the Junghanns or Sirrix
quad cards - the price does go up a quantum to ±4000.

Rob
