Recommended BRI Interface with i4b (HPS-Edition) and Asterisk/chan_capi on 6.2

[Oliver von Bueren]

Hi all, esp. HPS

As some might remember, I've setup my Asterisk on a FreeBSD 6.1-RELENG 
box with the i4b from HPS, including the chan_capi (AVM Fritz) and 
Asterisk from the ports collection, runs well.

I'm now planning on upgrading a bit. For one I'd like to move to the 
6.2-RELENG branch. I quess the save way to do this is to de-install i4b, 
do the cvsup to 6.2-RELENG and get that running without i4b and then do 
a fresh install after an svn update with the current version. If anybody 
sees any pitfalls with that, please tell me!

Now to the more important question. Can anybody recommend me a multi 
port BRI card for this combo of software. It needs to support at least 
one, better two S0 in NT mode and one as TE connected to a DDI S0 from 
our local telco NT1.

I've seen the thread about the Digium D410P(€635) and spotted the BN4S0 
from Beronet (€450) , Junghanns.net has a quadBRI 2.0 as well. All 
prices in Euros excl. VAT on voipango.de. In addition, I think I need a 
power supply for the NT-Mode S0, the beronet one is around €82.

At the moment, I'm in favor of the Beronet card, as it's quite a 
difference to the Digium one.
Does that sound reasonable to you? And, does it work?
