[asterisk-users] About BRI / ISDN hardware. What to buy?

[Asterisk List]

Hi,

http://store.%50honiceq.com has the quadbri card for $400. We can also
offer free shipping for this card.

The card has 4 BRI ports and is based on the same main chipset
(HFC-4S) as Digium/Beronet/Junghanns cards. It does not have EC
onboard.

best regards
