Which ISDN BRI cards do you use with Asterisk? On this page voiptalk.org/products/Eicon+ … M+PCI+Card
I have found one card but it seams to expensive for me (359Ł). Can you sugest any other ISDN BRI card that will work with Asterisk?
Hi! I have the same your problem. I also see that card and I also think that is too expensive to me. I have read that this card is fully compatible whit asterisk:
The Eicon Diva range may be more expensive, but they’re active cards and have hardware-based echo cancellation. I recently replaced the passive AVM!Fritz ISDN BRI card with an Eicon Diva V-4BRI and the quality is much greater (and its a lot simpler to install and configure, at least on RHEL4).

[quote=“tommasofin”]I know that the eicon are very good, but I need to to my fisrts experiment with asterisk and I can’t spend all that money.
I think that cards with chip HFC-S are the lee expensive and should are fully compatible with asterisk.[/quote]
I have bouth Sirrix PCI4S0 ISDN BRI card with 4 ports. It has cost me 500€. It is hard to insall it, but as far as I could see it’s cheapper than other cards.

I have experience with the fritz and the hfc based cards (such as the junhanns and the beronet cards - those are a lot more expensive than the fritz cards).
I didnt not encounter any problems, besides the usual compilation problems - But no quality problems.
i had encountered many problems and bugs with the bristuff and misdn drivers. the most stable drivers for hfc based cards are the bristuff ones. but all bristuff versions 0.2.0 have a critical bug which crashes all the isdn lines after a few days and 0.3.0 is the development version with many bugs.
I’m also using bristuff drivers (on several servers), and I did not have the problems you mention with 0.2.0, so I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s caused by the bristuff drivers.
The bristuff 0.3.0 driver is a dev version, wich does have some bugs, but it does allow you to use asterisk 1.2.4 and the newer zaptel driver.
