[VoIP] Asterisk-SIP Trunk

[Doug Alderdice]

I do have 3 X100P clone cards in my system here, but only two are 
active.  Never "lit" the third card, or had need to so far.  But three are 
installed in the system.

FWIW.  I would imagine I may have a problem trying to use the third what 
with interrupt issues and all that.  My * at work is currently broken, 
strange SIP problem with the SPA2000, don't want to break the home one...

Doug.
