[Asterisk-Users] TE405P and Dell Poweredge 6450 Incompatible?

[Scott Stingel]

Hi Matthew-

I think there are TE410P compatibility issues with other motherboards as 
well.  Google the archives (site:digium.com) under "HP Proliant G4" for 
example, as I remember some problems there.

This response from Digium tech support, if quoted accurately, is not 
acceptable to customers for obvious reasons.   If there is a known 
compatibility issue with some chipsets, I think it would be good idea 
for Digium to publish them.  Otherwise IMHO, they should offer to accept 
your return of the TE410P so you can pursue an alternative.

Perhaps a call to the marketing people at Digium would be in order?  
It's just bad PR for the company when these things happen.

Please keep us up to date on what happens.

regards
Scott Stingel
