Buy Digium, or Rhino, or a Knock off but avoid the witch doctor....

pimping my own products. I am not sure if your a Sangoma fanboy or
employee since you are apparently offended by my response, however he
wasn't asking to be sold to he was asking about specific products. So
there it is yes I work for Rhino and I could have easily given one of
our italian distributors but he didn't ask for that. It is not
appropriate to troll the list and push your products unsolicited. If
someone is looking for a recommendation for a card brand fine. If they
need a solution like ADID or they need to accommodate funky CPC signals
from their telco which Rhino does fine it is on subject. If someone asks
should I use openvox to replace my digium you don't pimp your product
because it wasn't asked for. If you want my honest opinion. I prefer
people use Rhino products. I believe our products and support are
superior but if you don't use our cards use Digium. If your reply is any
indication on how Sandoma works I can honestly say go use a cheap clone
before sangomaN they may not support you but at least they are open
about being here just for the money.
