I have a TDM4xxp card with no modules. My question is, will this card be sufficient to provide timing or does it need to have modules? Thanks, Steve
hmmmmm... why not just use ztdummy and save the $150 for the card? Sean Steve Totaro wrote:> I have a TDM4xxp card with no modules.

IIRC though, you need to tweak the source to allow it to load wctdm without a module.

A very nice clue would be very specific and line by line ;-)

I had to remove the loaded modules and then modprobe them again, at which point timing worked just fine. Thanks, Steve
