I have had both a v1 and v2 of the Diva Server 4BRI-8M.  The v1 wouldn't do NT 
mode, which I wanted; it also doesn't have as much memory so some other features 
are disabled.  This is probably why the v1 cards are going cheap.  I wouldn't 
build a new box today with a v1 card.

I'm in North America, so NT mode wouldn't work after all; nothing, not even the 
expensive Diva card, does switch emulation for 5ESS or NI1.  I'm currently 
working with Dialogic to get even TE mode to work correctly so chan-capi can see 
two calls come in on a single BRI.  Right now, in 8.3, it thinks it's coming in 
the D channel, ISDN1#0 (which of course it can't be), and 8.5 fails to accept 
any calls at all and chan-capi never even gets wind of them.  (Marco's being 
very responsive and helpful, but at this writing it's still broken.)  But 
outside North America, things work better.
