As you mention: Digium uses dual-licensing, consulting, hardware and what I'd call embedded (ABE). So they've utilized a number of these strategies. Yes, Digium makes hardware, but until it attains the same level of support that Sangoma can and does provide (this is mostly issues with zaptel drivers I am convinced) it will be hard to get people to stick with the Digium hardware simply out of company loyalty. Now before I get blasted for that, the hardware and drivers have gotten FAR better than they were when I started with asterisk about 18 months ago, and are continuing to improve by leaps and bounds. Mark and the Zap hardware team are making enormous strides and I'm confident that they'll reach this goal, which is why I personally support them on the hardware side. -A. _______________________________________________ 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
