We have several 2900s in production as VoIP servers.. no lockups.<br>On every server I go into the BIOS and:<br><br>* Disable USB<br>* Disabled uneeded things like Parallel, Serial<br>* Put ETH0 on a seperate IRQ from the Digium card
<br><br>And everything's fine. Dell's do NOT have to share IRQs... go into your BIOS and change them.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/1/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Eric Rousse</b> <<a href="mailto:eric.rousse@telmatik.com">
