Hi We've got a redfone here and it's working great so far, despite all the TDMoE bad press. The 4-span version is slightly more expensive than a TE410P, so in the end it's gonna be a more affordable solution as you'd need two digium cards (plus maybe the ISDN guard). The downside is that it does

Hi Laurent - Is it "technically" good to connect an E1 span to 2 cards at the same time (with only one accepting the calls). Since it is possible with BRI cards, i'm wondering if it could be done with PRI. Nope. You can use a device like the Redfone fonebridge to convert the PRI to TDMoE. P
