I fully believe that that error is incorrect.  I have been running into these 
problems on rev E, F and H cards on all manner of systems, from P90 with a 
450W power supply to the Supermicro server chassis I hvae upstairs with 
triple-redundant power.  Hell I even put a 100MHz DSO on the +12V rail and 
there is nothing there, the voltage doesn't move more than a dozen or so mV 
from +12.00V.

For some it may be a power issue, but I believe there is either a power 
*distribution* issue on the TDM4XXP carrier, an electrical error on the FXS 
modules or even some kind of driver issue.
