[asterisk-users] Server recommendation help

[Matt Watson]

You might want to see if you can change the IRQ assignments in your servers bios (might have to turn off the "PNP OS Installed" option if you have one)

You omit some obvious details, such as the actual error message you get,
your /etc/zaptel.conf and the output of 'cat /proc/zaptel/*' .

I figure that the driver for the analog card loads before the driver for
the T1 card, hence invalidating your configuration.

Thanks for the offer to help trouble shoot but I never even got that
far.  On boot it actually makes my Ethernet ports fail.  I am thinking
of disabling the internal ports and adding in a card.  Might help but as
this box is in production I do not have the ability to do that much
testing on it. I am looking at some planned downtime next weekend to go
further with this.

Also this box is ~3 years old so I figure If I can find a box that is
not "too" expensive I can migrate this to a FTP box and get a new *
server. As added bonus I can use the reload to clean up my dial plan.

If anyone has a TE205P-5v and TDM410 running is same box I would like to
know the setup.
