Unfortunately, soldering a power supply and cat 5 on to a 20 year old
card from ebay and then putting it all in a shoe box, or trying to track
down (as the wiki calls them) "the highly desireable 2 slot 253C"
shelves, are not really the greatest options for a corporate
environment.
ebay usually has those shelves, not the 2-slot ones, but 7-slot older
ones. yeah, they are wirewrap, big deal.
Is that the 253B shelf? Wire-wrap is not really the problem. The real
problem is availability (though size is also a consideration). I just
looked through the Tellabs equipment on ebay and don't see any of the 8-slot
shelves available right now.
Either way, it doesn't solve my problem. If I am installing asterisk in a
small to medium sized office, I would like to find a product that is easy to
purchase and easy to connect. I don't want to rely on something that I
*might* be able to get if I watch ebay close enough, never knowing just how
much space it needs, how much I will have to pay for it, or if it will
actually work when it arrives.
I didn't really mean to be short in the last email, but it seems (IMHO) that
there is a huge need for a current product like this. Evidently they *do*
exist, at least according to the Ditech and Valient websites, but I can't
seem to find anyone that actually sells them. My hope was that some of the
other integrators or suppliers on this list might have found a current
product that fills this need. Is everyone just using the ancient Tellabs
stuff?
