[WriteLog] Digital Voice Cards

2001年11月21日 12:14:12 -0500

The echo effect happened often here.
I don't think it is lack of processor power. I am running a 
PentiumIII 866Mhz. With 256 Meg of RAM !!!
I never lost my Telnet connection during the contest!!
I sure hope this problem will be addressed and corrected...
Many others have responded to my question and are having this
same problem !!
