G'day Rich,

I got sick of the echo and other issues in an expensive (for the price)
TDM400 card and replaced it with a Linksys SPA-3102. We haven't looked
back from that point. The TDM400 is sitting on the shelf, not adversely
affecting anything other than our bank balance, but it was a valuable
lesson that we learned!
