Just to complement Michael's accurate description of the situation (Hi
Michael!) ...

There is a few other differences, such as the fact that if you ever need
SS7, there is no SS7 stack into FreeSWITCH for Digium boards, just for
Sangoma (due to SS7 stack restrictions).

For ISDN, although I know a few people using libpri in FreeTDM, the Sangoma
SS7 stack in FreeSWITCH (ftmod_sangoma_isdn) it is the one more actively
developed and under continuous improvement and professionally supported
(not just community support). If you go with Digium cards you have to stick
with the libpri module pretty much and the community support.

All in all, my guess (although probably biased) is that most FreeSWITCH
users use Sangoma cards and therefore if you run into issues you are more
likely to get help (either via community or via Sangoma support) if you use
a Sangoma card.
