Thanks!  We are checking and applying firmware updates.  And we will
look at the driver versions.

I also noticed that the G7 boxes are running CentOS 5.8 vs CentOS 5.7
on the G5s.  I'll rule that out
by upgrading one of the G5s to 5.8   We've not had issues between
CentOS releases in the past.

I'm still running Asterisk 1.8.7.0 as I noticed that 1.8.12.2 would
occasionally crash (and get restarted
by safe_asterisk) after 10s of thousands of calls.  What's the best
way to make sure at least a core file
gets created?   Any other tips on getting crash info?  It is not
reproducible on demand other than putting
the box into production and waiting for 50-100K calls.

Hardware enumeration printout is on its way too for the original request.
