[Asterisk-Users] four wildcards in a single pc

[Fernando Macías]

I've been running an Asterisk box with 4 FXO ports and 12 FXS ports for 
months. The cards are sharing interrupts. The machine has one network 
card too. The system behaves very well. In my experience, putting 
multiple TDM cards in one box works. I've not been so lucky with 
multiple T1/E1 cards, though.
