Unloading of modules was of such a concern that it almost didn't make it into newer kernels. So you should probably not unload them. A production machine should have specified service windows available. Also decent hardware should be able to reboot fairly fast. The machine I have as our local asterisk machine can go from reset button to accepting new calls in under 50 seconds. Our remote machine is around 90 secs. Depending on y our call volume, and system setup, you should be able to handle this. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
