asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Trixbox installation - ZAP channels becoming upresponsive

I have a colleague who had an IP PBX solution put in by a reseller and
they are having an issue with their ZAP channels becoming unresponsive.

They are using a Digium TDM2400 Series, all inbound and outbound through
the FXO ports, VOIP is internal only.

Anyone aware of any known issues with Digium/Trixbox ZAP channels going
awol?

Thanks

Cory

One of the reasons, which I've experienced, is that the computer's
processor
gets over loaded. If its not a genuine server, then this will happen. A
standard computer made for general home or office use will give trouble on
zap channels when used with any hardware which does not have its own
microprocessor and depends on the computer's microprocessor. This includes
digium cards as well which rely on the processing power of the computer's
intel or AMD processors, hence making zap channels sometimes irresponsive
for some seconds.
