Well, I've been e-mailing back and forth with a Dell techrep. (This is in addition to the e-mail I sent to the sales guys, who are not in today). The techrep basically said:
Your TDM2400P card is only PCI and not PCIe; and, is therfore not compatible. According to him, and he backed everything up (and I have no doubts about how PCIe is working) with PCIe devices can share a single IRQ, because there is so much more throughput. However, obviously with PCI this does not work. My question is, is it even possible for have a Digium VoIP card be PCIe, and if so does anyone know of any plans to change the hardware over? Right now... I've pretty much voiced that I will not be purchasing any more Dell servers to be our PBX systems. On 2/10/07, Matt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
We'll see what happens on Monday. I e-mailed several people in Dell who were involved in this sale and all assured me it would be fine and work. Needless to say, I am not happy at all right now.
