Hello, We have experienced problems with our Dell 2850 as well. Asterisk would slow down and people calling in would not be able to get through (receive an engaged signal). I had a chat to Digium and they advised that they experienced occasional issues where the Intel gigabit ethernet module for some reason (occasionally) causes the interrupt for the zaptel driver to be removed. What we captured was our network cards stopping and starting again when these symptoms occurred. We have now replaced our network cards in the machine and are still waiting to see if this has fixed our problem. I hope this is of some help.

Hi Bill, We just built one for a customer with Fedora Core 3 and a TE210. We get PCI parity errors and the machine shuts down. I'm sure we'll get it working, but it hasn't exactly been the smoothest install ever. I agree that the second CPU and GB of RAM is probably overkill and as you know, I also share your bias towards two smaller servers as opposed to one big one. -Mike Michael Crown Managing Partner www.thevoipconnection.com 321.989.6728 ext. 611 sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: William Boehlke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 5:32 PM > To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' > Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Dell 2850 anyone ... > > > We successfully use 2850s with Digium T1 cards, though I > don't think we've installed a TE411P.
