My development system for asterisk is a virtual CentOS 5.4 world running under Fusion on my MacBook. I am usually only doing a few calls at a time. I have an IAX trunk to our office Asterisk PBX so I can access the PRI line there. I do meetme rooms and recording of calls and all seems to work well.
I have even used a Xorcom Astribank on my virtual world for testing. Virtual worlds do have a place even in the Asterisk world. For a very small office like the OP was talking about things will likely work. I do agree that as the system he is thinking of using is a low use system adding asterisk to it in its current state will likely be a good solution. -- Jim Dickenson mailto:dicken...@cfmc.com CfMC http://www.cfmc.com/ On Jan 20, 2010, at 4:50 PM, Gergo Csibra wrote: > Thursday, January 21, 2010, 12:53:09 AM, Jeff wrote: > >> On Thu, 21 Jan 2010, Gergo Csibra wrote: >>> Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 11:41:48 PM, Michiel wrote: >>>> Forget about virtualization! >>> ... >>>> Virtualisation is nice for test-setups, but thats it. for any real job >>>> it's a major pain in the ass and makes stuff bork beyond imagination. >>> >>> Well.
