[asterisk-users] Digium TDM400P Vs Sangoma A200

[Rich Adamson]

Correction... it only plugs into "one" pci slot, but anything beyond 
four ports covers up additional pci slots (even though it doesn't plug 
into the pci connector). So, a 24 port a200 card would essentially 
render "all" pci slots unusable due to size.

The tdm2400 card consumes a single pci slot, but its length is so long 
that on many systems one would need to use a tin's snip to cut the fixed 
disk drive bays out of the way to make it fit.
