You think way to small. You don't have to be centralized with asterisk. Administration of a secure network is easier being centralized, but you could easily run several asterisk machines in a network much like IRC is. A few or even several asterisk boxes peered to each other to know who is where and the users spread over the many asterisk machines. With IAX attempting to handoff calls if possible, it is possible to create true P2P calls as well as routed calls to handle NAT or anything else. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
