That was my message.

I have a lot of Netfinity servers.  The 3500's are old, they do not 
support PCI 2.2, and I've had problems with more than just Digium cards 
with those servers (including IBM ServeRAID adapters:  you could not 
reboot them, you had to power cycle them).

I have both Netfinity 5500M20's (which you are describing) and 5600's that 
I have used with Digium hardware successfully.
