PE1950 molex connector

[Erik Anderson]

Ahh yes - those FXS modules draw a fair amount of current.

Good luck with your hacking! I've chosen to go the simple/ external
road with regards to POTS ports. I use the Xorcom Astribank devices
(USB attached) and they're great. It's *really* nice to be able to add
ports without needing to open up the server to install a card.
