Re: [gentoo-server] ASTERISK

[Sean Cook]

To be quite honest, I have abandoned the Digium hardware across the board
for analog.  I have gone to the Sangoma A200.  I can buy a card without echo
cancellation and if the quality is sub par on the line (as they generally
are), and add a module to the A200 and have hardware echo cancellation.

Sure it is a pain to recompile wanpipe every time zaptel comes out with a
new release, but the granular configuration is worth it...
