[cisco-voip] Avoid Clocking issues with PRI

With the new VWIC3 you can have independent clocking when you have a voice PRI and data T1 on a 2 port card.  

As for NM I'm reading that it's a separate clocking domain from the VWIC cards.

Thought that was what I heard but it's possible this is what I'm remembering.

> A. The Cisco VWIC3 cards are supported only on the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) 1900, 2900, 3900 and 3900E series platforms. The VWIC3 cards add enhancements to the previous generation VWIC2 cards, including:
> Enhanced clocking capabilities: The Cisco VWIC3 cards can enable each port to be clocked from an independent clock source for data applications. Data ports can also be clocked independent of voice ports. All voice ports on the card much use the same clock source.
> Q. Can the 2- and 4-port VWIC3 cards support different clocking domains?
> A. When the 2- or 4-port VWIC3 is used in data only, non-ATM applications, each port can connect to a different clocking domain, for example, when two different T1/E1 carriers are used. When the VWIC3 is used for voice applications, all voice T1/E1s have to be synchronized to a single clock source and any difference in clocks risk clock slips or interface flaps. When the VWIC3 is used for mixed data and voice applications, each data port can use an independent clock, and the voice ports can use a clock source independent from the data ports.
