Hi Steve- Not to belabor this, but the PCI version of the Dialogic DMV600 board has TEN 56311 DSP's per board - that's to handle only two E1's. Having programmed the Motorola 56000 series DSP's in my past life, I can assure you that that's a fair bit of processing power. In the "old days" (early 90's) with our own designs, we were able to do all the DTMF, as well as tone and voice detect for a 30-channel span with only one 50MHz 56001 DSP.
http://www.intel.com/network/csp/products/7603ts.htm But real-world experience is more important. The Digium TE4XXP boards can barely handle 4 E1's in one high-powered chassis (again, high volume IVR) - we used to routinely put 8-12 Dialogic-driven E1's in a single 300 MHz chassis with not a burp. The signalling, protocol, call progress analysis etc are largely handled right on the Dialogic board. Anyway, sorry to run on about this.. I'm not knocking the Digium boards, in fact I support them exclusively now for new customers. But to have the support of Dialogic boards available for people who want to build really large systems (or who have a ton of used Dialogics on hand) would be nice. Regards Scott Stingel Scott M.

They have rather feeble DSP power. That is why they only do the simplest of tasks with the onboard DSP.
