I think your problem is the Dell 650. What are the specs on it ? If you want a system that can support 200 users you will need to do a lot better than that. Also you will be dealing with T1's/E1's and not POTS lines. I think a good place to start (if you havent already) is the book that has come out a while back. I have it on my server at http://www.h6315.com/ast_book/
