[Asterisk-Users] Fritz, mISDN, Help

[Derek Conniffe]

Hi again Jörg,

The install_misdn Makefile doesn't seem to like my SMP "yes" in my 
kernel .config (it does a grep on the .config file, finds the line, and 
tells me) - I'm going to try the chan_misdn driver anyway and the server 
is an old HP netserver e800 which is a dual processor PIII board.  
Actually I'm only running one processor in it because, for reasons 
unknown to me, SuSE linux (9.1) grinds to almost a halt with two 
processors on board but I'd say I need to SMP option on in the kernel 
config in order to use this motherboard (although I'm not against 
changing the motherboard if necessary).

I'll let you know how I get on,

Derek
