[Asterisk-Users] soekris hadware

[Michael Graves]

You will have problems. Physically the card won't fit into the Soekris
case. There isn't sufficient power to provide ring signalling to FXS
ports, which is why the Digium TDM400 card has a dedicated power
connector. 

Of course the Net4801 will only transcode a couple of calls at a
time...which means that you should really stick with G.711 coding
calls.

Then there is the old problem that most of the small FXO adapters/cards
are not very good. Search the mailing list archives and you will find
numerous threads discussing porblems with various FXO cards. 

The Sangoma A200 card would be your best shot as it seems to be able to
cope with various motherboards. Otherwise, you should consider a
freestanding multi-port FXO/FXS adapter like those from Audio Codes or
Mediatrix.

Since you want a more fully featured installation based upon AAH you
may be better served by more powerful hardware.
