[Asterisk-Users] Digium TDM400P vs Sangoma A200 for 2 x FXO

[John Novack]

Though many will probably disagree, you will be LOTS better off with the 
Sangoma A200
It is MUCH more forgiving regarding Motherboards and the PCI 2.2 
requirement, even though the software installation instructions leave 
much to be desired for the inexperienced, it does work, and Sangoma  
fixed a problem I discovered with their FXS module software.
My first experience with Digium and the TDM400 was, when it couldn't be 
seen in a motherboard that said it was PCI 2.2,  Digium's response was 
"try another motherboard"
