Agreed. It's another case of perception vs. reality. Having "some" processing power on the card is "always better" than "none" - or so many vendors would have us believe. I see this kind of attitude out there a lot: "Hey, this card has XXX number of MIPS for its DSP handling - what does that Digium card have? None? Well, hell! That makes our <fill-in-vendor-here> 4-port card infinitely better than theirs! So what if it's 4 times the price! And we'll even throw in a cheesey SDK for building Windows apps! You do know MFC, right? Everyone who's anyone knows MFC..." Uh... yeah. I'm looking forward to OSS telephony software (and the "little guys with their little cards") taking the next step. The possibilities are intriguing, to say the least. -MC _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
