Yeah, basically a RedAlarm is when the Card doesn't see a dialtone.

No, you don't want to do this.  Fix the problem so the red alarm doesn't
occur.  We had the same issue when we were running Promise Array card in
there.

What hardware are you running?  CPU, Motherboard, type of computer,
extra PCI cards, is it on it's own IRQ, etc..

Those are where you want to start.
