Guess I was mistaken about the CPU type but, that doesn't really change
what I was talking about. I shove about 12000 calls per day through my
PM4 and haven't had any trouble at all. As I said as well, I was only
going on what I've heard/read which states that under full load, the box
drops off on packet forwarding. We will just have to see.
