Phillip,
You proposed hardware config is substantially larger than the
environment should require. You could service the number of users
that you mention with less than half that hardware.
If you are going to go via a SIP carrier, make your choice on the
basis of your provider's route performance to and from the servers of
the proposed ITSP. You can use something like mtr to take a closer
look at this. Believe me when I tell you that you are better off
paying twice as much for a carrier with clean routes to your
customer. Look for sub 120ms latency and low/no packet loss. My
provider of choice is Junction Networks.
I hope that this is helpful.

I have a small client (5 - 8 people/phones in an office) and thanks
to this
list I'm gonna use IP phones.
I have 2 additional questions that I hope you can help me with.
#1 - I was looking at a 2.8ghz 1GB dell server for this project..
Does that
seem reasonable? It's only gonna be used for Asterisk - if this is
not a
good choice then can you recommend a server that I can get just as
quickly
as the dell?
#2 - I was looking at using a VOIP provider for inbound and
outbound.. is
that preferred over having the calls come in and out via pots
connected to
the server via a FXO card? I worry about the dependability of a VOIP
provider. I have been looking at voipstreet or vitelity to provide
the
inbound/outbound service..
Thanks in adv!
