Re: [asterisk-users] About BRI / ISDN hardware. What to buy?
Hi, http://store.%50honiceq.com has the quadbri card for $400. We can also offer free shipping for this card. The card has 4 BRI ports and is based on the same main chipset (HFC-4S) as Digium/Beronet/Junghanns cards. It does not have EC onboard. best regards On 1/18/07, Cosmin Prund [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I finally found a price tag for the darn thing, at around 500 euros I can handle it. Qustion: Do they behave properly if I've got an other Digium TDM400 card in the system? How about installing two cards in the same server? At the moment I've only got 1 ISDN line plus a few analog lines going into the TDM but in the very near future we might want to get a second ISDN.

[asterisk-users] About BRI / ISDN hardware. What to buy?
Hello everyone. I need a BRI ISDN card that works in Romania. I already have one of the Cologne HFC-S PCI cards and it doesn't work right, it's junk. I get wy too much echo using it. I'm now shopping for a better card. Can anyone recommend me a card that fits the following: (a) Costs less then $1000 / 750 euro (b) Has one or (preferably) two ISDN S0 interfaces. (c) Easy to set up. (d) Drivers offer proper echo-canceling OR has an hardware echo canceler. I might increase the $1000 a bit if I can get good hardware echo canceler...
