I think you mean the TE407/412 cards, the 406/411 series (using the OKI chipset instead of the Octasic) were discontinued by Digium. And while the Sangoma line uses "a104" as a base for all variations of their quad-port T1/E1 cards(PCI/PCIexpress/EC/non-EC) Digium has several different product numbers for standard PCI(TE405P/410/407/412) and a different number for their PCIexpress cards(TE420) where it seems that they have changed their product naming scheme to be more similar to Sangoma's adding a "B" for the echo-can version of the card. Here's a run-down of the available quad T1 cards from the 3 big players: Digium: - TE405P - PCI 5v-only, NO hardware EC - TE410P - PCI 3v-only, NO hardware EC - TE406P/TE411P - DISCONTINUED - TE407P - PCI 5v-only, Octasic Hardware Echo-cancellation - TE412P - PCI 3v-only, Octasic Hardware Echo-cancellation - TE420 - PCIexpress, NO hardware EC - TE420B - PCIexpress, Octasic Hardware Echo-cancellation Rhino: - R4T1 - PCI, NO hardware EC - R4T1-e - PCIexpress, NO hardware EC - Add-on Octasic Echo Canceller Sangoma: - a104 - PCI, NO Hardware EC - a104X - PCIexpress, NO Hardware EC - a104d - PCI, Octasic Hardware Echo-cancellation - a104dX - PCIexpress, Octasic Hardware Echo-cancellation > From what I've read, the IRQ issues are not present any more on the > digium cards. > > Is the echo cancelling hardware comparable ? > > I need to install the new card in a dell 2850 or 2950 or possibly even a > HP DL360. Anyone have some comments on this ? Do not use Dell. I have had issues with both Sangoma and Digium cards on multiple brand-new Dell servers. This is the only vendor that has consistently given me problems with telco-interface cards. Hope that helps, MATT--- > fwiw, my heart says I should buy Digium. My head says I should buy > Sangoma.
