Thus far all IP PBX’s I’ve built have used Sip trunking and/or 1FB lines. I’ve installed a Pri on a couple nortel systems, but never on an asterisk Server.
So I humbly ask for expertise, advice, opinions…
Sangoma or Digium?
With or Without Hardware Echo Cancellation?
Box will be a Dell R310 with Xeon 2.8 12GB of Ram running the latest 2.10 64bit distro.
Another alternative you have is to do the Echo Cancellation in software. It uses some of your CPU but in return it is usually more flexible in adapting to difficult scenarios.
Also you can but the Sangoma Cards from the FreePBX Store and we have the distro all setup with a script. Simply just type setup-sangoma and 10 seconds later after answering a few questions the card is setup and working for you.
Tony I’m glad you pointed that out. I was about to order elsewhere… Only a few more dollars than some other vendors, but I’d rather my $ support the community. I actually think I’ll order the B601DE Hybrid Card. Wouldn’t hurt to be able to support a POTS line and analog device.
