> Thanks for the heads-up. Do you know of any alternatives? There is the zaptel hardware from digium.. the TDM400P for FXS ports, X100P for FXO, or the combination of T400P + channel banks.

Zaptel has the capability to do 'clear-channel' and/or 'data-quality' calls. See 'show application Dial' on the asterisk and have a look at the 'd' and 'c' options that can be passed to Dial. Someone else may be more familiar with how it works on the X100P/TDM400P hardware though as I haven't ever tested it. It was probably designed to work with channel banks, which is going to go over your budget if you are trying to find something cheaper than $800. > My main concern is compatibility & according to the asterisk docs, the > quicknet products are and drivers are also supplied as part of the kernel. AFAIK, Quicknet is the only folks who use the "Linux telephony API" but even the Quicknet products often have problems with the driver that is distributed in the standard kernel... OpenH323 is about the only thing that is out there that can actually interface with the stuff 100% and Quicknet has a big hand in that project too.
