Hey Ken, why the recommendation to use an external gateway instead of FreeTDM / Sangoma / Dahdi-compatible boards? On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 9:50 AM, Ken Rice <krice@freeswitch.org> wrote:

What types of FXO and FXS devices does FreeSWITCH use?

Thank you

Look at Obihai, they have a wide range of gateways. I am using the OBI110 and wrote the wiki page on it: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Obihai

There are many gateways that work with FreeSWITCH, from simple consumer-grade ones to bigger business-class, rack-mounted devices.

I've personally worked with Cisco SPA devices, Sangoma VegaStream (not a fan of those, YMMV), Audiocodes, and Patton devices. You might want to check out the specific feedback people have given here: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Gateways <https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Gateways>

If you have a specific device or a specific scenario I'm sure the folks here who have experience would be willing to share their thoughts.

I've yet to find a USB device I'm happy with. I would avoid them. External gateways are relatively inexpensive and make your implementation much simpler.

Two at the most. The machine doesn't have PCI slots to something USB would be best.
