Then your D4's will probably not ever be used.
The lowest I have heard for a 4 port one is $300. A WORKING one. The 
purchaser sent it to me for check-out, and it is now back home It worked 
fine. I can't say when he will press it into service.

I paid $375 for one, it had an intermittent port one, got it exchanged 
with no problem, though shipping was slow, and I even got the newest 
card in exchange, through accident or deliberate, I can't say.

I know several have, as it is less than a new 5 year warranty card ONE 
port, Sangoma at $475

The ones I am familiar with are all working, and the company went 
through a slow response period, but made good on any problem boards.

Sangoma single T1 lowest price with 5 year warranty is $475
Varion 4 port T1 with one bad port is $450 1 year warranty
Varion 4 port with 4 good ports is $700
Prices go up from there.

Check Sangoma and Digium web sites for list, then start shopping for 
discounts from there.
