Point taken. I was not so much point fingers but asking what my expectation should be and maybe shedding some frustration. I don't really have a lot of experience with this kind of communications gear

All the more reason for you to fully inform yourself *first*, and then start posting negative drivel to a public mailing list.

Fully inform myself of exactly what? Googling for TDM400P diagnostics didn't get far and before posting I had already removed and reseated the card and all it's connections, verified the configuration and all that. I did all this because my background in chip and board design tells me that a great many problems are primarily loose connections. After all that the card was NOT responding and appeared dead. I would expect that even a transient on the PSTN line would only blow the FXO daughter card and not leave the PCI card itself unresponsive.

Even now, given that I don't know what caused the problem or what solved the problem (for the time being). I might expect that powering the system off may cause software errors due to partially written files but I would NOT expect it to damage the hardware, particularly just a comm card. Hence *my* feeling for *this* card is that it is unreliable. It is however reassuring to hear that overall the reliability of the Digium hardware is good.
