The scale here is already bordering on unrealistic. I wouldn't expect them to want to make this too much bigger. Scaling aside, 200+ ulaw channels (13Mb/sec not including overhead) over USB? You're joking, right? I know that USB 2.0 is rated at 480Mbps but has this actually been tested and verified? I would imagine USB 2.0 chipset variants and inconsistencies are even worse than that of PCI. And individual RJ11 jacks? I'd strongly suggest the dual TE407P with channel banks. D50 connection, hardware echo cancel/dtmf/etc. Offload all transcoding to another box or set of boxes. You can even use cheapass Carrier Access Access Bank I or IIs off of ebay (sub-$100 range), as this is FXS and you don't need CPD. > www.spidermux.org Interesting product, I didn't know about this one until just now. I've heard that TDMoE is more trouble than it's worth, though, and may eventually be phased out of Asterisk. Can anyone from Digium give some more information or suggestions? -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
