I'm the first to agree that a small via/soekris/fit2-box is more then enough for running asterisk (perhaps even with your firewall and mailserver) otoh I have 1.2, 1.4, 1.6.0, 1.6.1 and since lastweek also 1.6.2 versions running happily in a XEN dom-u. Works without a problem... Only snag is that is rather hard to use fxo/fxs/pri cards in them, and one needs a rather powerfull server for it. As the O.P. said it's a small company, i would opt for a "tiny box", capable of running 24/7. Easier to maintain, cheaper to run (power) hw -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
