Correction... it only plugs into "one" pci slot, but anything beyond
four ports covers up additional pci slots (even though it doesn't plug
into the pci connector). So, a 24 port a200 card would essentially
render "all" pci slots unusable due to size.
Depends on where the MB lives in the case, to be sure. Some ( rack
mount, to be sure ) cases have many more openings for cards than modern MB's
And growing much beyond 8 ports would seem to dictate another solution,
perhaps a T1? Not having a need I haven't looked closely at the
economics, but a Sangoma T1 card and a used Adtran would be in the
neighborhood.
Regardless the A200 works with a much larger selection of MB's and
Sangoma doesn't tell you to "try another motherboard"!

The tdm2400 card consumes a single pci slot, but its length is so long
that on many systems one would need to use a tin's snip to cut the
fixed disk drive bays out of the way to make it fit.

The A200 is a far better card. More forgiving of Motherboards, MUCH
more expandable, slightly lower cost. Only real drawback is modules
are in pairs, so if you want 4 FXO, you need to buy 4. It expands to
24 ports using one PCI slot
Also, if you ever are rich, hardware echo cancel is an option

I was wondering which of these cards would be better for a 1-2 line
SOHO. I would like room to grow as well as I am concerned with
voice quality and life expectancy of the product. Any input into
which one and why would be greatly appreciated.
