[Asterisk-Users] Multiple HFC-PCI cards in mixed modes (TE+NT) won't work!...

[DRi at b-w-computer.de]

I've encountered a few issues with zaphfc-cards...
I think you meen simple isdn-cards with cologne-chipset

first - I had three cards working with mixed-modes 3nt, 1nt/2te, 2te/1nt

it does work but it was not possible to reinitilize the cards to change 
te/nt mode without reboot
also sometimes it happend that the cards 'got lost' - stop working without 
any known reason or by recalling ztcfg
without florz patch it didn't work at all in cause of to many interrupts 
from the cards

when using zaphfc check with 'dmesg' to see in witch mode the cards are 
initilized if this doesn't match what you need check/set the mode for the 
zaphfc-module inside /etc/modules.conf
check that each zaphfc-card has it's own interrupt not sharing with an 
other device (boot with noapic-parameter to switch of apic to see the real 
bios-interrupts)
check with zttest if you got results above 99,976%

otherwise may give chan_misdn a chance - I got it to work but with similar 
problems like zaphfc
