I use one in the UK for an adsl line, and I use one at work for a T1 line, and they both work very nicely. I have 2 complaints: they log too much, and they aren't really open source drivers. Those may not matter that much to you (they didn't stop from using two of these cards, you'll note) but I thought I'd mention it. There really is no competition, though. > 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.
