Why spend $133 on a card for a low end machine when you can spend $30.

I'm not the OP and do agree with supporting digium where possible, but it would appear that digium is no longer selling the x100p card (or at least its removed from the web site). Given some folks only need/want/aford a single fxo port, is this actually considered a knock-off at this time?
Isn't a TDM01b a single port FXO? It also has the benefit of being able to scale up a little bit before having slot/interupt problems.
This really is an edge case. If the original vendor had to do the support, they couldn't sell the parts at such a low price point. If the price rose to the amount to offer proper support, there wouldn't be much distinction between them and Digium. Digium would then likely get the sale as it is a feel good action. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
