[Asterisk-Users] Performance: Xeon or Opteron?

[Anton Krall]

My main concerns would be, can you have multiple cards like this on a
system, for example, I now have a te110p and 2 tdm04b and Im getting
irqmisses on the te110p (according to zttool and zttest) which makes fax
receiving on the te110p almost impossible.. Plus, voice is getting frame
slips.

I was hoping sangoma cards could be more "enterprise" friendly.

|Have a 2FXO 2FXS card working now.
|More forgiving of the PCI bus. The software installation is a 
|little mean, with the outlined procedure making assumptions 
|about the installers knowledge and familiarity with Sangoma 
|products, and in some places it doesn't really discriminate 
|between their T1 and A200 cards.
|I found one defect in their FXS driver, which they have now fixed.
|
|Overall seems to be a good product, slightly more affordable 
|and less of a problem child than the Digium/TigerJet TDM400
