I have used Sangoma cards in the past for exactly this application and found
them to perform well. The cards we used were ISA cards, so I do not have any
experience with the A101.

A really nice thing about Sangoma was that you could speak directly to the
developer if you needed support and the guy who answered the phone did not
know the answer. He knew all of the little things the driver could do and how
to get them to do it. He was also very good at pointing out my mistakes. :-)

They were good people to work with.

Keep in mind I left that $job about 3 years ago so things might have changed.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Tom
