YES, the X100P is in fact a soft-moden card. If you have a Digium X100P card you can dump the PCI card's configuration registers and look up the vendor and device IDs to see exactly what it is. (see "man lspci" for details, assuming you have Linux PCI tools installed)
The Intel chip used in this card is very well documented and Intel even supplies example source code for Linux drivers. The card does have built in DSP so it is a bit more than a sound card but I don't think (could be wrong) that Asterisk takes advantage of the DSP hardware. (It _would_ be ideal place for echo supression.) Here is one source for X100P cards. They work but do require one triveal change to zaptel/wcfxo.c I'd say if you can't figure out what needs to be changed, pay the $100 to digium http://www.accupc.com/itemDetail.jsp?pid=fmint56vs/w&refer=PriceWatch Just last night I both made and acepted PSTN calls with the above card from a SIP phone through Asterisks. It would not be total rocket science to write another zaptel driver for just about any softmodem card if you had the specs for that card. and there ARE quite a few with published specs and wcfxo.c does provide a nice example driver. --- Ethan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So I've been on the Asterisk list for a long time.
