</div>Cheap? yes. Cheapest? Almost. Have you contacted their support?<br>
<br>
<br>
(I'm completely unafiliated with them etc. etc.)</blockquote><div>I tried, I got passed around from person to person until i'd heard the script at least 4 times, so I gave up. Might try again tomorrow. <br>I'm currently testing the same card in a different server, with a Tyan Intel chipset board, as opposed to a HP / AMD chipset. I'm somewhat more hopeful about this. I was told that newer servers have some proprietary PCI bus chips, which are optimised to deal with RAID cards and suchlike, which can be problematic when handing IRQ-heavy cards such as these. <br>
<br>I think this is actually interesting, because the current Asterisk server is actually a Dell Optiplex desktop with a Pentium 150 in it. Can't get much more basic, but it works pretty well. (the only reason we're attempting an upgrade, is because the old asterisk 1.0 can't support features that the management want to implement, and the physical box is taking up too much space in the already cramped server room!)<br>
