Looks to me from the picture that the PCI interface is a custom ASIC as opposed to Sangoma which uses an FPGA. Not sure what Digium uses. ASIC's are better in the long run because the unit cost is lower. I'm willing to bet the hybrids are the same as what Sangoma and/or Digum uses.
Good to see more options out there anyways. -----Original Message----- From: Bryce Chidester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 10:50 AM To: Discussion of AstLinux - Asterisk on Compact Flash Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Rhino Quad FXO Analog PCI Plug-In Card(R4FX O) - installed The card has been designed from the ground up, and the only queues we've taken were in writing our module to be Zaptel compliant.
