Hi Jama,

It seems to be working better now. Don't really know what I changed.
PCI interrupts should be ok, I checked and the card is using resources
that are free. It's the only pci card in the box so that should be fine.

Incoming calls on the digium card are working now. But I have a
problem making outgoing calls. The Digium card doesn't seem to notice
that the other end picked up! So I hear the person on the other end of
the landline picking up, talking, but he doesn't hear me! Moreover,
there is still some kind of ringing tone coming over the channel.

I guess it has something to do with the way Etisalat signals a line
pickup. Some tweaking here and there is definitely needed, but overall
the thing is starting to work.

Is anyone going to order something from Digium soon? Because we need
another FXO module for the TDM400P. But it's a bit silly to pay $60
shipment costs for just one $85 module.
Also if anyone has an unused FXO module for the TDM400P and wants to
trade it for an FXS module (which we have spare) let me know!

Michael
