I have used four X100P clones in a PIII with Intel motherboard. It
worked fine. Also I had it with an ASRock mobo and Athlon processor,
it worked, but not so great.  I had allways one card sharing an
interrupt. There were sometimes artifacts in the sound, faxes did not
work, and data calls: forget it.

I'm running four now on a Powermac 9600, I'm planning to add another
one in the next few days. It works perfect. I can fax, I can make
modem calls. Life is good.
