. . . so while you can easily buy one for $8, it's much better to support asterisk by buying from the digium store instead. if you really feel the need to buy the cheap non-digium version, at least support them with a donation or buy the sticker pack.
There's a point here that needs to be made. I am very interested in Asterisk and am in the process of setting up a Linuxbox for this very purpose. I have always been financially supportive of software that actually
does work properly. On numerous occasions, I have purchased software that originally came to me as a "loaned" copy from a friend after making sure it would do what I required. I also have purchased a lot of software after using it during a free trial period.
However, if I were to buy an Wildcard X100 for the price Digium is asking and then later learn that I was actually shipped a cheap PCI modem of which I already have several,
I would be totally turned off. If this is the case, I would strongly suggest that someone send me a private email thru this forum (possibly from Digium) and clarify this matter or risk losing someone who may well become a strong supporter downstream.
