      Hello all,

      I'm looking at moving our company away from Adtran router units to pfSense boxes with Sangoma cards or some other form of PCI T1/E1 card.  We have 35+ locations with T1s from a single ISP.  The T1s are handed off to us at the smartjack (for reasons I'm not currently aware of) and we are providing our own conversion to Ethernet with ~$600 Adtran routers.

      For roughly the same price I can do a Soekris + Sangoma + pfSense and have a FAR more functional device (multiple ethernet ports, for one; the Adtran only has a single port).

      What's the current state of T1 card support, and can I expect it to be carried forward in 2.0 when it hits final?  I searched around the forum and didn't find many hits at all, and the pfSense main site isn't too helpful either.

        No current support and no plans for support at this time.
