[asterisk-users] help with picking out a digium card.

[shawn bright]

Hey thanks.

the IVR server we are using is also the web server and database server. My

box as a backup.
The server is already here and, alas, only the new PCI express slots.
THnaks for taking your time on this for me. Still kinda new at this.
