Agreed, but then they'd be posting the test result data to the list, not asking what the minimums are. > In a test system I can take out half the RAM, slow the CPU clock > or run the CPU without the cooling fan and just measure what > happens. Yes, stupid do do those things in a system people > are depending on. Agreed 100%. If you want to conduct experiments you do so by conducting them, not asking what the minimums are. I dunno, I am kind of in the same boat as Steven on this... if you're gonna experiment then experiment. Don't decide to get into * and the first thing out of your mouth is what's the bare minimum processor+ram you can get to make it work... buy something moderately new (P3, 128M, IDE disk) -- it ain't gonna break the bank, it's gonna be easier to find and likely be far more reliable than that P90 you have in the back room that's been gathering dust for the past 5 years. Sorry I don't mean to be so bitter... I probably shouldn't be posting with this headache. :-) Regards, Andrew _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
