[asterisk-users] Dell Servers

[Matt]

We have several 2900s in production as VoIP servers.. no lockups.
On every server I go into the BIOS and:

* Disable USB
* Disabled uneeded things like Parallel, Serial
* Put ETH0 on a seperate IRQ from the Digium card

And everything's fine.  Dell's do NOT have to share IRQs... go into your
BIOS and change them.
