Soren,

Am I correct to assume that if I need to supply more than 1A I would 
need to use an external source?  One application I was hoping to use a 
net5501 would require approx 1.5A (3W per FXS channel x 6 channels using 
a Rhino card similar to the Digium TDM400p).

Any word on the manual or the 19" 1U case?  It would be helpful to at 
least know the planned specs for the 1U case.

Thanks,

Darrick
