The clone cards are not definitely not worth messing with.

There are some 3rd party cards that are as good or better than Digium however. These cards arn;t clones, but totally different cards with their own drivers.

Recently the Intel Dialogic cards are supported by Asterisk binary edition and the Sangoma cards are also excellent.

I'm running 8 T1/PRI almost fully loaded with sangoma with no hiccups. The interrupt issues with digium cards and the 3.3 5v thing are downsides to the digium stuff.

Has anyone else seen this failure 5 and know what it might indicate?

Hi Dean-

Checked the DigitNetworks web site and found this reply to a question
about their 'clone card' compatibility relating to 3.3 volt vs 5 volt cards:

"The DigitNetworks X100P and several other clone cards have different
chipsets and circuity. This can provide different results depending
where you order from."

Huh.. ?

When you consider the savings is maybe $100 best case coupled with the fact
that even with Digium cards the reliability has only recently become
fairly good..

IMHO running anything but genuine Digium cards is a crap shoot not worth
the trouble.
