TDM400P or A400P with 4 fxo modules

The TDM400 was long ago discontinued by Digium and replaced by the TDM410, which offers superior interrupt handling and compatibility with modern systems, as well as support for DSP-based echo cancellation. The A400P is a clone of the discontinued TDM400.

Buying telephony cards from Digium, and not from cloners, supports the development of Asterisk. Buying from a cloner takes funds away from Asterisk, and means Digium can’t afford to put as many developers on Asterisk as we and the community of Asterisk users would like.

Cheers.

In my country TDM400P still in the stores and A400p really works great, sure I recommend DIGIUM first always but you can google it many brands too like sangoma/openvox/rhino etc.

Again, buying from Sangoma, Openvox, Rhino or anyone else does not further the development of Asterisk. It detracts from it, making it harder for Digium, who’s putting the dollars behind Asterisk, to put additional developers on it.

Cheers.

So malcomd we cannot recommend any hardware if its not DIGIUM?

I think that the flexibility to use an open plataform is that. Its open and we can decided to use any alternatives. Sure we need to support the Asterisk developers and community but we can choose many different vendors.

You absolute could. You’re reading a conclusion that I’m not drawing. I’m pointing out what happens to Asterisk when one puts money into the pockets of people who don’t financially sustain Asterisk.

Cheers.
