[asterisk-users] Sipura SPA-3000 vs Sangoma A200

[Stephen G]

Rich,
 
Thanks for the quick reply and your advice.
 
My main goal is to build a small, energy efficient, always on server that will be able to run Asterisk and connect up to the PSTN, with FAX ability.  The PCI card makes the solution cleaner, but it is harder to find small cases/motherboards that support PCI other than a custom Mini-ITX solution.

I agree that the power consumption should not be much different between the Sipura and Sangoma A200, although I need to have a large enough power supply and an extra 4-pin computer power cable to power any FXS ports according to: http://wiki.sangoma.com/sangoma-hardware#A200.

Having spent two years with the spa3k in multiple environments, I'd 
suggest your alternative choice of the A200 card is a better one. Power 
consumption has nothing to do with your choices really.
