Stephen: I had no idea that Franklin ever used an NMSS card in their gateways. I was always under the impression that they make all the parts of the Tempest themselves and that they had put a lot of money and time into developing their own telephony cards (which is why I am not predicting how long it would take them to get to the next generation).

Franklin telephony cards use an MVIP connector so they would interoperate with NMSS cards but I think the reason they have their own DSP cards is because they can interface to their datacom cards using their own proprietary interface separate from MVIP. I mentioned NMSS because I work for NMSS and am most familiar with our boards - I could have mentioned some other board manufacturers instead.

Two things I would like to find out about the FTEL DSP boards and that is what DSP chips they use on their DSP boards and what technology they use to interface to the datacom cards. It doesn't say on their website and I am pretty certain it isn't secret. I'll be asking them this if I ever get an engineer from FTEL in front of me, but until then maybe someone else can find out if this is public knowledge.

As far as breakdowns go, all you need to replace is one board when it goes. That would be the same whether it is FTEL or NMSS or DLGC or anyone else. Of course, FTEL has more boards therefore more chance of failure but these boards don't usually fail (I think mean time between failures is measured in years). It is usually software that breaks instead.
