[Asterisk-Users] Small office setup/using analog lines w/ Ast erisk

[Karl S. Katzke]

Chris - Actually, he's talking the chipsets that run Intel chips of all 
stripes versus the chipsets that run ADM kit. 
Intel-[approved,compatible] chipsets are almost uniformly higher quality 
than the stuff that runs AMD kit... supports things like APIC, where 
I've run into very new dual-opteron-class kit (K87-DL) that doesn't 
support apic -or- smartd without gnarly bios upgrades and stupid linux 
tricks.
