we have got asterisk 1.0 (over 1 yrs old) version and very old zaptel version. That code is working only with 8 or less ports (accumulative) on digium fxs/fxo cards (2 cards with 4 ports each). the questoin is, what if we want 12 ports?..well, really, i don't understand the limitations? is it simply zaptel driver code fix? or kernel fix? or technology limitation? donno any tips would help. we are though planning to move to latest asterisk 1.2.3 on linux 2.4. thanks, very much appreciate any comments.

But, if you don't have any problem as-is, why risk upgrading> the questoin is, what if we want 12 ports?..well, really, i don't understand > the limitations? is it simply zaptel driver code fix? or kernel fix? orIn short, a TDM400P generates 1000 Interrupt Request to your CPU each second. Multiply that by the number of card you put in the server and I think you can see where the problem lies... As a side note, some people have reported running 3 or 4 cards in a server without problems. YMMV Personnaly, I would upgrade to a TDM2400P, this card can have up to 24 ports and will generate only 1000 Interrupt Request per second. You can sell your old TDM400 or recycle them in another * I just installed 2 TDM2400P with hardware echo-canceller and I'm really satisfied with them up to now.> technology limitation? donno any tips would help. we are though planning to > move to latest asterisk 1.2.3 on linux 2.4. > > thanks, very much appreciate any comments.You're welcome hth
