And we come full circle to a comment I made before that TDM cards are more for hobbyist than for real serious installs. A real install is probably going to use a T1/E1 interface and bypasses all the troubles listed in this thread. So far I don't trust that many of the people using TDM cards are the ones who will tweak a system into a serious install. Look at previous threads about system load spikes where we have to pull teeth to get people to swap out of a FC kernel and into a generic kernel. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
