I have a number of Digium T1 products (T100P, TE410P, TE405P and TE406P) as well as a few TDM400 based boards. No failures in the last 2 years or so. > So, at over 2x the cost is Sangoma hardware more sturdy than the Digium > stuff? Not that I've seen. I also have a number of Sangoma products. Both work very well for me. As an engineer, I can also see that the protection on the interfaces is comparable. > Mike (totally UNimpressed with Digium) I don't think this is a Digium problem, at least not yet. What did their customer service people say? Can you ask for a failure report? You note that power went out. Generally when this occurs there is a very high chance of transient voltage spiking or line swells not only on the residential electrical power grid but also on the telephone network. Do you have any telco line protection in place to protect the card from nasties coming in from the outside? Is the protection correctly installed? How about electrical protection? The MOVs in your power strip and UPS are only good for a few hits before they become ineffective (something they never tell you). Unless you know something more than you've presented here it is a little premature to start pointing fingers. -A. _______________________________________________ --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
