The Meteor CTI (hardware only) can be had from Pathway Data for =A380
(well =A3100 with postage & VAT).  You dont need any of the software if
you are using xAP/PL or other interfaces.=20=20

Still not in the 'obviously cheap' bracket but they seem to work for
most and don't seem to be too many other options.

I use a Meteor with NTL and it works fine.=20

Don'tknow if this helps
