Hi!

I'm a new member in VoIP world. I want to implement a VoIP PBX using
asterisk/tribox in the office but I have one doubt. Which is the best way to
use actual PSTN lines in the VoIP PBX? Using a box as Linksys SPA400 or
installing a PCI card (Rhino/Digium...) into the server? Which
benefits/problems will I have with each option?



Older Digium cards had issues with IRQ's where Sangoma did not. If
this is just a small installation. Go for onboard EC purchase more
ports than you need (provides further upgrade path down the road.

I have tested both the Digium and Sangoma four port PCI cards and
without looking at the card itself, they both have high quality
products. This is coming from a guy that was anti-Digium hardware
since day one.

By giving Digium a second try on all of their TDM products, I have
found that they have done a great job in improving their product line.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

It depends on whether you want to deal with Zaptel or SIP/IAX trunks. My
personal choice would be the TDM400P but that?s purely because I know it.
Barring any problems with IRQ sharing/conflicts, setup is fast and easy, and
it just makes sense to me to have all PBX-related hardware in one box


But the choice, ultimately, would depend on how you plan expansion, if any.

but.... which would be the best option to include 4 PSTN lines into a VoIP
enviroment? As I can see that SPA400 (4 FXO Ports) is a cheaper option than
a 4 ports PCI card (Rhino/Digium/Sangoma...). Would I get any benefit on
using a PCI card instead of a box as SPA400?

Regards
