[Asterisk-Users] Junghanns QuadBRI stable?

[Michael Sandee]

Hi Gaël,

I'm glad it worked out so far, I was not entirely sure if I suggested 
the right things, I would have asked for a pri debug next if it didn't work.

Personally I have used the QuadBRI's for 6 weeks without serious 
problems. I have had 1 freeze which has been resolved in 0.0.2 final. We 
currently even have an alarm system running on a machine with QuadBRI's 
as a temporarily fix for a non-existant analogue line... FYI I am using 
the QuadBRI's on original Intel P4 boards (6PCI), and a compaq desktop. 
I am using Gentoo with vanilla 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, but it should not 
give any problems with other distro's.

I have used the QuadBRI with both 2.4 and 2.6... the 2.6 gives a little 
more performance, but some more risk. If I were you I would try 2 things:

Other hardware, I have used the TE410P in a DL380 before with very 
little success. It actually didn't work when using it in the 133Mhz slot...

Use a vanilla kernel instead of the distro kernel... this is where it 
gets tested on. But this should not matter in your case where you 
already tested 2 distributions.

Make sure you do not run ztcfg twice, (I think this bug is still open, 
but I am not sure).
Other than that: try loading qozap and not running ztcfg/asterisk.... 
and loading qozap, running ztcfg and not running asterisk. (To determine 
a little closer where the problem is)

Good luck,

Michael Sandee
