Tim,
Thanks for the advice, the card was donated by a friend so I guess I better let him have it back.
I've been sucessfully dabbling with asterisk for a while now, I saw this card as a way of expanding my knowledge for little outlay :-) guess I will have to bite the bullet and buy one of the cheaper digium cards like X100P.
Best Regards Steve B

Is there ant chance of the Dialogic card model D/4PCI working with asterisk ?
The advice I was given when I asked a similar question about a dialogic board
was, roughly : It is possible but it will cost you money for the license and the results
will be disappointing. If you are serious about asterisk, then get a well -supported card,
possibly funded by selling the dialogic on eBay.
I took the advice (but didn't sell the card) and have not regretted it.
The issue is partly about the philosophy of the card. Asterisk does as much as possible
on the main CPU and as little as possible on the card. Dialogic (especially older cards)
take the opposite view, producing a incompatibility that can be overcome, but only
by ignoring or working around most of the features of the Dialogic card.
If you just want to dabble, build an IP only system, and use soft-phones.
