the patton smartnode series are my favorites. ?fantastic debugging via cli, on par with and often surpassing ios (i was able to get my first few units fully working basically a few hours after unpack thanks to the debug). ?cli itself has a few oddities but i find it pleasant to use overall. ?support team is small but very helpful and responsive.
Looks like an interesting product line, but I didn't see any mix of digital and analog. What I really need is one PRI, and a couple of FXS ports, and at least one FXO port.
adtran i think unabashedly strives to make their cli as much like ios as possible. ?if you're comfortable with cisco gear, then you should have no trouble configuring adtran. ?there is a web gui also that compares very favorably to the competition's (helpful when you have low-skill support staff logging into on the devices).
The 908e looks promising. I really like that you can play with the GUI / CLI BEFORE you buy one. Just have to register on the Adtran website and go to http://www.adtran.com/vlab I wish more vendors had that. Does anyone know if you can connect one of the T1 ports on a 908e to a PSTN PRI? The documentation is not clear and mainly talks about customer facing PBX connections and data termination. I have a call into pre-sales, but nothing back yet...
the cli on the audiocodes gear is kind of amazing, it seems like a throwaway project from someone's college operating systems course.
LOL, Ummm... Actually I don't remember any of my classmates having THAT bad of an interface when I was taking Operating Systems... -Jonathan
