Your original post said you were trying to get a small office going. This would be suitable for a dozen or so users as long as you weren't transcoding. When you boot it, hit F10 and go into the BIOS. In Advanced Setup > PCI you can set any PCI card to any IRQ you want. A TDM card shows up as "Unknown Intel network controller". I set my TDM22 to IRQ 11 and disabled the onboard audio, parallell, etc to give plenty of free IRQ's. I set the Intel NIC to IRQ 7, for example, the same IRQ as the parallel port. On mine, zttest yields 100% about 70% of the time, no echo, and with 3 extensions going, top says CPU at ~10%. It took me a couple hours total to get it going first time with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that includes terminating the cat5 and setting up a telemarketer honeypot. Hey, for $50, what do you have to loose? > ---------- > From: jennyw > Reply To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 5:39 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Motherboards and IRQs > > Someone mentioned earlier (I can't find the message now) that they had a > motherboard that allowed you to change IRQ assignments in BIOS.
