I hadn't realised this was for a home server... yes I agree, for a home server the Digium or Sangoma cards are a little too expensive. > I wonder how much using something like an SPA-3102 (with both an FXS and > FXO ports) eliminates these problems and brings reliability to the > table. > I can't speak for the SPA-3102, but the SPA-3000 I use here at home doesn't do a brilliant job. I suffer from varying amounts of echo on many calls, though oddly enough I've pretty much learnt to ignore it. :) As for Caller ID support, I can't help there - it /does/ support Caller ID, but since I don't really want to pay an extra $6 or so just to get caller ID on a number that usually rings only when telemarketers get around to it, I have no idea how reliable it is. I'm sure you'll find it amusing to find out that I was toying with the idea of getting an X100 card for my server. :) Unfortunately, they appear to be very hard to find in Australia. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
