Aside from paying for a recognised brand name, with Eicon you get on-board DSPs and firmware, as well as software to make the card appear as a series of /dev/tty devices (and/ or CAPI) under Linux. The Junghanns BRI boards have no such on-board logic, they are pure telephone interfaces driven by the host - and as such they are /perfect/ for Asterisk. We use an Eicon Diva Server 4BRI for our fax server because of the TTY interface for Hylafax - the DSPs themselves do all the fax negotiation / compression and it works extremely well. However, we're also running * on that machine via CAPI, and the board gives us the flexibility to share 8 channels between * and Hylafax really easily :) Cheers, Gavin. _______________________________________________ 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
