I used the Sangoma S518 card in an IBM x-series server, replacing a telco supplied ADSL modem/router. It is obviously more expensive than the mass-produced product, a 2-Wire unit. On the other hand, it is well-constructed, and it did a good job in initially connecting to the network. As for performance, it offers a definite benefit in response time. With the external router, I was seeing 11-12 mSec pings to a university server a couple of miles away. That's very good. But with the S518, I am getting 7-8 mSec ping times. Quite a relative improvement. And with the server's freed-up 100BaseT port, I gained a DMZ possibility--another win. Digium offers nothing comparable, so I can't comment on the relative merits of their hardware.
