I concur that view. Don't even touch Dialogic garbage. I have see people spending months without being able to make them work. Dump them into your incinerator and turn the knob from 'Medium' to 'High'. You would be happier buying either a Varion card ( http://www.govarion.com) or a Digium card (http://www.digium.com) at a fraction of the price and a fraction of the time required to configure.

The advice I was given when I started down the same line a year ago was: Forget the dialogic, the drivers are old and not free and almost no- one is using them. You are better off just buying a well supported card (ideally from Digium). There are technical and legal reasons why the Dialogics don't fit into the Asterisk world view - as such even if you do get it to work it won't be representative of what you'd actually install for a customer. What I did was to build a system that was 100% voip using spare old hardware and played with it until I was comfortable with Asterisk, then splashed out on an E1 card and some dedicated hardware. Turned out fine for us. Tim > > Thanks, > Corey > > -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
