Howard,
Actually you have tripped over another bad point and issue I have with
Digium. First.. see my point about QMail and Dan B.... but to
address the other issue. Up until recently I have been purchasing
Digium cards; after all.. what better way to support the company that
makes the PBX system I use?
However, we will not be purchasing any more Digium cards until Digium
realizes that PCI is an extremely old standard. As it stands right
now, and someone may correct me if I'm wrong, all Digium cards are
PCI-X, and hence have issues with sharing IRQs. Unfortunately, as
you will see if you do a search on the mailing list, most new
motherboards insist on sharing IRQs with things... this causes audio
issues.
Until Digium gets with 2007, we will be purchasing Sangoma PCI-express
cards. I hate to do it, because like I said I want to support
Digium, but their hardware is not staying with the times.
This is not intended as a sermon but please remember that Asterisk
is an
open source project that Mark Spencer tripped over into as a business
plan. The quality assurance process is for those of us who use
and sell
Asterisk systems to perform. We contribute, we use and hopefully
we buy
interface cards from Digium as a thank you for maintaining Asterisk as
an open source project.
For if it were up to Digium to do all of the exhaustive quality
assurance that you imply, Asterisk would not be open source, freely
available or as useful.
