Its really just a very minor system I am running, its sole purpose is a vm basically. Well a VM that can redirect calls based on number.
I would prefer to just run it on this windows machine doing nothing most of the time. Id rather not buy an appliance, maybe if its $100 but I would rather just grab an old celeron pc I have laying around and use that, but I am trying to do this "green" and since this windows pc is running 24/7 anyways (cause I never know when I will need to connect to it) I figured it was a good shot. Maybe a different virtualization software like virtual pc would run better. I think some tweaking is what I need though, I don't care if the call quality is great, I just want it usable.

Asterisk on a VM appears to work sometimes, only if magic is involved. It is not the way to run anything for a business.
