[VoIP] Just bought a Western Electric 202

[John Novack]

The auction listing is unclear. Does it come with a proper subset, 
containing an induction coil two section capacitor and ringer?
a 634 or later 684 is correct.
It will be interesting to see how the IAXy works with pulse.
The TDM 400 FXS circuit meeds the source modified ( see the archives ) 
to make it more forgiving of dials who's speed and make break ratio vary 
from the ( incorrect ) Asterisk standard

Any reason you went with the expensive ( per port ) IAXy, rather than a 
Sangoma or Digium card?
BTW - Sangoma says their board will work in any motherboard that has a 
pci slot, unlike Digiums TDM 400 that won't

Nice looking phone, though a bit on the high side..
If it keeps the SO happy, it is a bargain though
