cards since it does have the power connector. However, I only plan on using
FXO ports. Will the card work without external power if there are only FXO

have a power connector. The new ones do. The power to the card is required on
any card that has a power connector. The modern TDM400P cards are the only
Digium cards that require external power (since they are the only cards that
support analog FXS ports and those ports require more power than many
motherboards can provide via the PCI bus)</span></font></tt><font size=2
