Excellent ! Thanks for the quick input. That was useful info.
I found the details on configuring Asterisk with Sangoma card at the following: http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-linux-asterisk-install#wanpipe_tdm_zaptel_install I understand Sangoma has superb support if I needed it etc. Hoping things go smooth, the one hiccup I am going to have to fool around with is the pin code that apparently Allstream requires when dialing a LD number, I believe this is for billing purposes etc. I would prefer to disable that and have Asterisk handle the billing and pin codes internally. Any suggestions on that would be helpful.
