perhaps a post detailing how these hangs happenned and any CLI output 
before these hangs would help in /eliminating/ this. i'm running asterisk 
on freebsd 4.x /with/ digium TDM cards without any problems. any problems i 
faced were usually tied down the the digium hardware itself, instead of 
asterisk or freebsd. note that "noload => pbx_wilcalu" needs to exist in 
modules.conf, as detailed in the asterisk on freebsd wiki.

those are the interrupts which the digium cards generate, and are used for 
timing. it's not specifically a freebsd issue.
