Just an FYI, I've used Voicepulse Connect which is a VOIP provider so no hardware is actually needed. They give you 4 lines by default for 11$ a month per phone number plus long distance charges for outgoing calls at something around .0002 to .0008 cents a minutes. I've had good success with them and they are not only very Asterisk friendly they even have a built in script in Trixbox to set them up. My box was very similar in configuration and I was hovering around 1% utilization most of the time. But I can't help with the specific cards as again, I used that VOIP provider. --j Matt Dittbenner wrote: > I've been watching the recent thread regarding Asterisk hardware.
