Poor quality hardware breeds poor quality calls. There is a reason most telephony hardware is expensive. While building computers for a while, I learned that windows didn't deserve the amount of crashes attributed to it. Hardware continually caused windows to crash. Granted I learned that after I had become bit by the linux bug and was on my way to not looking back. What I also learned is that MB manufacturers are in a commodity business. This explains why they look to cut as little as a penny per capacitor to add to their bottom line. So unless you are willing to buy non commodity hardware, you might get crap. Of course when you buy a decent machine, you may well be back close to your cisco price. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
