Hi Carl,
I just started yesterday afternoon with exactly the same setup so you 
are a bit ahead of me.
If anyone answers you directly then please be kind enough to forward 
their comments to me.

I have not even tried to sort out trunks, bristuff or anything yet but 
it might be worth pointing out that my initial problems were that, using 
an old pIII motherboard with pci graphics, network plus 2 HFC bri isdn 
cards, I ran out of IRQs. I had to lock down & exclude the irq for the 
network card before the 2 ISDN cards woke up. I now have the network & 1 
ISDN card on their own IRQ and the graphics and 2nd ISDN card sharing an 
IRQ.

Maybe this could be a similar problem for you?

I'm  using this HW with AAH 1.1

Keep in touch,

Cheers,
Zoltan
