My point was only that support costs money and that "expensive" is always relative to your needs. I am not blaming anybody for buying cheap fax modems and use them as Zaptel FXO cards, but I am not blaming Digium either for their decision to bundle otherwise available electronics equipment with support. I think it is a fair value offer. Nobody is forced to take that offer, but the offer is there and it is good that it is there. rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] modem question
All i can find is this: Protocols & Specifications ITU V.29, ITU V.34, ITU V.90, ITU V.17, ITU V.27ter, ITU V.92, ITU V.80 Error Correction Protocol MNP-4, ITU V.42, MNP-2, MNP-3 Data Compression Protocol MNP-5, ITU V.42bis, V.44 and I don't really see the use of investing more then 100$ for just testing/playing with asterisk. If it really comes in handy I would buy a wildcard or other good card.

The chipset is what matters. The Zaptel wcfxo driver is specifically written for the Intel/Ambient MD3200 chipset. Nothing else will do.

This means Digium will replace the card if it doesn't work with Asterisk and Zaptel. Other vendors will tell you that the modem is a modem is a modem and as long as it works with the winmodem drivers as a modem on Windoze, they won't accept that you have an issue. It also means that if you get stuck, you can call Digium free of charge (dial extension 500 in the demo of the sample extensions.conf for a free internet IAX peer-to-peer call to Digium) and have them help you get it working. They will even log into your asterisk box and build/install/configure the Zaptel drivers for you. Before this background, you may find that this is a good deal worth considering, even though it may look expensive at first sight, especially if you are doing this for the first time. rgds benjk -- Christophe De Coninck | Zarek K http://www.zarekk.be mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <>___ 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
