Please chime in if you've ever wished for digium to make a 4-port daughter board with a combination of 2FXO AND 2FXS ports on the same card.
When using the 800 series cards, one must either choose 4-port permutations of FXS/FXO, OR one must give up 2 valuable ports. In other words, when you add ONE 100-series daughter board, you give up TWO of your physical ports. Is there a technical reason for the lack of such a card, or is it just a case of "insufficient business case" to justify the development? If it's the latter, I would like to state that I am ready to buy several '2x2' cards. I also assume I am not alone. I often run into situations where I am space constrained (embedded enclosure) or resource constrained (bus slots 1u rackmount) which rule out the obvious solution of a larger card (AEX/TDM2400P) and/or rule out the inclusion of an additional 4-port interface card (2x TDM400). A '2x2' 4-port 'combo' daughter board could not only allow 2-port granularity vs. 4 port granularity in the 800 and 2400 series boards, but it would also be a very attractive option as a 'beginner' interface card, allowing 2 ports of each interface, while allowing lots of flexibility in the future--4 more FXO, 4 more FXS, OR just another 2x2 card for a symmetrical 4x4 setup. In my case, I find myself most often needing a 6 x 2 setup Please chime in if you've ever wished for a product like this from Digium.
