sangoma card vs grandstream gateway

[ZenMasta]

Why would I want to go with Sangoma A200D with their netboarder software over something like

From a newbie perspective, this choice still provides me with 4 FXO ports and echo cancellation for 1/4 the cost of the sangoma card with netboarder software or comparable pci card.

Thanks for the tips/advice.

A Ferrari and a Yugo both have an internal combustion engine and four wheels and will get you from point a to point b.

The question is what do you want and need. The echo cancellation on the Grandstream is not as good as Sangoma or Patton Gateways. If you aren't having echo problems then the Grandstream is a good low-budget product. If you end up running into echo problems the Grandstream can only be tuned so much and may not be able to solve the problem where a higher end device may simply plug in and work. Its all about choosing the right equipment for the particular situation.

We have pots phones right now and I am satisfied with the quality of our calls in general. I have plugged in a phone as simple as this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000050FZP/ref=dp_otherviews_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&img=1 and it seems the same quality as our current 4 line phones no echo or static.

I guess the only way is to try and find out.
