[asterisk-users] Digium stopped TDM400P production: alternatives??

[asterisk-users at lists.digium.com]

You are kidding, right ???

A small user that just buys one card won't get a good support from
Digium. It'll be just a waste of time on the phone.

Practically any manufacturer gives similar support including ssh'ing
in the users box.

Right now they push the user to buy a 4 channel echo canceller which
you can get from Octasic for $40. The card with 4 ports is retail
around $640.

You can get OpenVox or another brand TDM400P compatible for 1/3 of
that + $40 for echo canceller. Now that's a Digium high marigin right there
.. someone has to pay the CEO salary and the mortgage for a
new building :)

cheers
