I think most of the commercial voicemail solutions use harddrives, so does stuff like tivo for that matter. I wouldn't put vm on flash, os and config yes. How quiet does this place need to be ? don't the users all have computers already ? is the a/c silent too ? Just in my personal office there is so much background hum it masks out external noise almost completely, but its not an objectionably loud level, ie no one I have been on the phone with has ever commented on the noise level and it does not interfere with conversations. Server room - now thats another story completely. > > Gordon > > _______________________________________________ > > Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
