<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi Mike, <br>
<br>
I`m not sure, but I suggest the following tests.<br>
The cards generate interrupts even with no load. And in real life they have
different clocks. A very small clock difference could accumulate and make the
interrupts happen at same time. USB , TCE400 or PRI card interrupt routines
could be having problems at this moment.<br>
<br>
1) Separe usb interrupts from digium boards, try to do it by changing board
slots. (or disabling usb in BIOS).<br>
<br>
2) Try to run your system using one digium board at once to determine which one
is generating the problem or if the problem occurs only with both present.<br>
<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>(sorry for the series of email, I realize I seem to be having
a discussion<br>
with myself).<br>
<br>
I was wrong, the "problem" isn't fixed. Is having IRQ spikes
every 10<br>
minutes (under no load at all) the norm with Dahdi hardware?<br>
