We're running a TE406P in an IBM xSeries 330 and while we have not had 
system stability problems (system has crashed once in six months -- 
gamma rays?), we are on our fourth card in about six months.

Card 1 failed outright after a couple of months

Card 2 never reliably handled DTMF unless vpmdtmfsupport was disabled 
and ran for a couple of months before it started screwing up DTMF 
detection regardless of vpmdtmfsupport

Card 3 seemed to be working fine for almost a month but now the talk-off 
is bad regardless of vpmdtmfsupport

Card 4 is a newer version of the TE406 which is supposed to address the 
DTMF problems -- will be shutting down our server at midnight tonight to 
install the new TE406.

If Card 4 doesn't do the trick we'll probably drop the idea of using 
TE4xx boards altogether and use Patton SmartNode 2400 PRI gateways instead.
