I have an asterisk 1.6.2 server running on Debian Lenny on ESX which bridges ENUM SIP and Skype Calls with our Cisco PBX (connected via SIP). I have not heard of any problems so far regarding timing. Voice is always clear and fine.

Are you talking about VMware Server, ESX/ESXi, or one of their other products? The only VMWare product that I can even conceive might work is ESX/ESXi.

Others have already pointed out that in VMware, you won't get direct access to the hardware. VMWare does have some limited capability to directly interface with hardware, but I agree with everybody else that it is likely not going to work.

The second problem with VMWare in a virtual machine is timing. On a physical machine, Asterisk and Linux have almost complete control over the timing. That's important for voice data streams that need to send data at precise points in time. In a virtual machine, I would expect poorer sound quality due to dropouts.

*Subject:* [asterisk-users] asterisk on Vmware

Hello,

Is it possible to install Asterisk on Vmware(centos) from source. Is there any difference or disadvantage for this compared to asterisk running on physical machine.
