asterisk users - Mar 2005 - "Success" report with TDM400 and Via EPIA-MII motherboard

Hello!

In spite of a number of complaints, I have tried to use a TDM400 on a Via 
EPIA-MII motherboard with a 1.2GHz C3 CPU.  cpuinfo and interrupts are 
included at the end of this e-mail.  I have had no problems with it so far 
that I can attribute to the computer.  I have, though, had continual 
problems with a certain telephone...

Anyway, this module currently has 3 x FXS modules and 1 x FXO.  I have not 
tested the FXO functionality yet (beyond cursory I-can-ring-out and 
I-can-receive testing).  I have spent several hours calling back and forth 
between the FXS modules, though, and so far I have had no motherboard 
related issues.

Any specific areas I should test?  I know some have complained of poor 
audio quality and other such issues.  I have not seen this.  Any details 
on when you see the problems?  And if they're related to  the Ouch or 
Power alarm errors, I too get those.  I'm starting another thread for 
those.

One odd thing about the cpuinfo below.  It reports the system as being a 
533MHz system, when it's a 1.2GHz system (133 x 9).  Even the BogoMIPS 
reflect the slower speed.  I have no idea why yet...
