No offense intended, but the x100p card was never marketed in the UK (or other countries) by digium, etc. Those that found a way to purchase the card obviously didn't do the research necessary to understand what they were getting into and probably didn't have any sort of understanding of what their country telco standards actually were from a system engineering perspective. Those that elected the clones obviously have even less knowledge/experience.
As far as the motherboard issue, its not just the digium products that have an issue. If you know of someone that is heavy into using audio applications (eg, song writers, midi stuff), they have known about the pci / interrupt latency issues on certain motherboards for a loooong time. Wouldn't doubt those folks maintain a list of what's reasonable verses unacceptable. ------------------------ > I am not willing to spend money on a system where even the most basic things > are incompatible with everybody but the US, this is just > stupid I am using the X100P in a small office so that we can have a small > PBX, seems daft having to upgrade my hardware just because > of another US oversight.
