But then, there are PBX apps for Windows, so it's too bad no device driver is available for PCI cards: - Axon - Brekeke (Java, yuck) - Freeswitch (when they get around to actually compile and add it to the site...) - 3CX - Yate - miniSipServer _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
