You have 5 POTS lines and 4 X100P cards? Sounds like a complete drag...
At any rate, why don't you buy a TDM400P with 4 FXO ports? I've bought 
one off digitnetworks with UPS shipping and it was delivered under a 
week. Not bad for half around the world trip :-)

Well I also ordered a X100P clone and it was fighting for IRQ 10 with 
the ethernet card and the existing ISDN card. I had to unplug, reboot, 
shut down, replug, reboot... drag. Sticking 5 X100Ps might work but then 
again maybe not... I've never tried it anyway.

I think it's a good question and I am wondering the same thing. What's 
up with that? I thought IRQs were a thing of the past...
