[Asterisk-Users] test-ignore

Oh absolutely.... :)

Dante ... Don Quixote..... 

Perhaps if you are surrounded by dragons you should roast hotdogs and
marshmallows?

At any rate their will always be people using HTML, Text, and Test
messages and it's far easier to privately message them then to do battle
with the windmill of reality.  I was just being a bit more tactful in my
message.

In other Asterisk related news:  Beware of ICH 6.

I opted to build a new system to house * and our other Linux hosted app.
We chose a brand new ICH6 Intel board and a P4 3.0Ghz/1mb L2 800 FSB
Prescott core chip.  It ran like a 286.  All sorts of stuff isn't
supported yet.  Fortunately I had a Wintel box I could swap boards and
power supplies and CPU's with.  I'm on that box now and it's not bad.
Although, I don't think they have the quirks worked out because the ICH
5 based board with a 2.8 Ghz 512K L2 800 FSB cache seems to be a faster
system.

We did confirm with Digium that the Compaq 1850R with dual PII-450's
would have been fine for our application.  But we were concerned about
future performance and opted to build a new box rather then deploy and
have to replace a box later. 

I would recommend that anyone steer clear of a ICH6 board for the time
being. These are the 9xx series Intel boards.  Also their "raid" doesn't
work worth a crap on the 8xx series boards.  We've had good success with
the SATA Promise Raid cards.  It offers a comfortable compromise between
cost and fault tolerance for us.

We now have a very spiffy server case and system that has been fairly
stable.  Now we'll finish configuring * and see if that is a wildcard or
a blackhole that it stands for.  :)  

Seriously, I got the impression in our testing that power quality and
SMP were big issues for Digium hardware.  I had the distinct impression
that there was a conflict in the IRQ handling with SMP systems that did
true SMP.  I couldn't make an actual accusation, but it's just a "hmmm"
type thing.  I derived it mainly from how I understand DSP and SMP to
work coupled with things I observed and the types of anomolies we had on
that box.

Next time you post, make sure you turn off HTML.

And not that I expect anything productive to come of this part of a
rant... If you(collective mass of people sending test messages lately)
are testing filters, couldn't you just wait the 10-15 minutes it takes
for more messages from this list to come in?
