YOu were right, I totally wrote it incorrectly because I was caught up in the guy trying to push a physical card that I forget to go into the fact that the ATA in use was an FXO already. It was so implied by Mealy that I didn't circle back to explain.
No one was pushing a physical card prior to you saying to never go physical.

They didn't "say" it, but defended it pretty strongly once I pointed it out as if that was what they had said. So I took that as confirmation that that had been at least the one person's intention, right or wrong. He responded as if I had corrected what he was thinking, so I still am pretty sure that that was what he had meant to imply. Especially given that it was posted on a thread that was already answered for an OP who already had an FXO gatway device otherwise.

No. The only argument was from Mealy arguing your generic industry best practice to virtualize everything, granted he is wrong on that point. No one ever said anything else. Seriously, go back and read the posts slower.

Well sorry if I misinterpreted that he meant to imply physical installs. I know that the OP had an FXO gateway already, so it came across as pushing for FXO cards in my mind because he already had an FXO otherwise. You are right, they never actually said it. But I think Mealy meant it, even if he didn't say it. The other guy did not, so I was just wrong there.

I find Scott admitting that he thought someone meant something fascinating. So many posts, at least to me, seem obvious what the poster is desiring, even though they don't say that specific thing. Example - the AD post 2 days ago on SW. They guy claimed he wanted "cloud based AD." I took this to mean any AD like solution that provided the MS AD suite of services like onsite AD suite does (group policies, centralized authentication, etc)

@Texkonc nice combination. sounds fun

Just released the Discord invite link for my EQ Project 1999 guild. Time to integrate user support into gaming. Yay?

Updating a Dell R710 iDRAC firmware to see if I can get the remote console to work so I can install HyperV without going into the server room

Yeah it's pretty awesome when you do it the first time.
it's even more helpful when you need to boot from an image larger than 4 GB.

Need to go into server room now as the iDRAC says there is no SD Card
so will need to open server anyway. -

@Dashrender Was going to store HyperV Iso image on there so I didn't have to go into server room to even plug in the install USB I got lol. Just being lazy
(and store XS image just in case) -

(and store XS image just in case)you don't/shouldn't need to.
iLo allows you to mount an ISO from your desktop over the network, done.

Yeah, the only reason that I "read into it" because Mealy posted it as a "you are wrong, you need this other thing" kind of way when the question was already answered. So it was the only context where that response seemed to make any sense. If it wasn't contrary, it didn't work. So it was the only way that I could see to read it.
With the AD one, the guy asked a question with only one answer, and everyone just assumed the OP was an idiot and answered what THEY would want to have asked, not what he asked. And they didn't clarify that they were answering something else but acted like it was an answer to the question. They didn't read into what he asked, they just didn't understand the question and got both the question and the answer wrong.
Even two pages in, no one is sure what that guy was asking. Anytime that "everyone" thinks that they know and thinks that it is obvious, no one can agree on what that obvious thing is.

I agree that we all (well, not Scott of course) don't ask the correct question.
When I talk about AD, I'm almost NEVER talking about AD alone, as in authentication alone. I'm almost always talking about the suite of functions/services that are on the MS platform that revolve around AD. And frankly, when I see most SMB IT personal talking about AD, so are they.
