Nowadays the whole Digium vs. Sangoma thing has boiled down to preference more than anything else. They are both pretty reliable (I've used both) so I wouldn't use that metric as a tie-breaker. If money is the ultimate deciding factor then a Digium clone is probably the cheapest. However, if you want to support the company who has supported the FreeSWITCH community the most then it's hands down Sangoma. Also, we know all the Sangoma guys personally (Hi Moy!) and they have produced the bulk of mod_freetdm. Buying Sangoma is a great way to support FreeSWITCH.<br>

<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
