Testimonials

• This is our first install with Xorcom FXS analog
  modules, and we have to say they work a lot
  easier than the 'other' FXS/FXO PCI cards of your
  competitors. Casper Kamp, CEO - Checkmarq
• Xorcom provides hardware interfaces in the
  Astribank USB channel banks. This is genius
  Michael Graves, VoIP blogger
• We chose the Xorcom IP-PBX as our voice platform
  for the EPICAcce because it includes a complete
  voice solution that integrates seamlessly with
  legacy and VoIP PBX environments. Shlomo Shur,
  CEO - EasyRun
• "...To get around this problem of having to use
  expensive T1 cards that are tied to a single
  server, Xorcom shuns T1 cards and uses good old
  USB 2.0 for its interface to the PC..." George
  Ou ZDNet
• I've found Xorcom support to be extremely
  responsive when needed. Kenn10 PBX in a
