[Asterisk-Users] Kernel Freezes with T100P

[Zach Chambers]

Thanks Bill,

The Motherboard and chipset are/were VIA with an Athlon processor.  I've 
just moved the whole setup to a new machine with an A-bit motherboard, 
PII-400 processor, Intel chipset, and non-shared memory video card.  The 
same problem occurs.  Is there anyone else out there using these cards 
for data-only as opposed to voice?

Thanks,

-Zach.
