The Sangoma cards are historically MUCH better about being able to share 
interrupts than the Digium cards have been.  However, I have personally run 
across one (and only one) case where a Sangoma A101u could not share an IRQ 
with a Sangoma S518 on an older Dell P3 machine.  Funnily enough, a T100P had 
absolutely no trouble in this case.

I also am under the understanding that the Digium drivers have made 
*significant* improvements in their ability to coexist peacefully with other 
hardware on the same IRQ.  For best call quality it's still best to have the 
cards on a separate IRQ (this goes for the Sangoma cards too), but if you 
simply cannot get the system to do that, they *can* work.

I like the Sangoma cards, and I like the Digium cards.  Both are *very* well 
supported.
