We have two e400p boards in a UP (3 Ghz P4 Northwood) box to serve ras
users. I see 1000 interrupts per second per board. Load looks kinda
funny (on and off between 20 and 100 % system every few seconds), but we
can use all 240 channels without any dropping calls or packets as far as
I can tell. But then this is only data...
