A point of clarification.  The "get started video" on asterisk.org says that 
running asterisk on a virtual platform is a popular option.  "Go for it!" the 
presenter says.  However, the 2011 third edition of Asterisk, The Definitive 
Guide says they don't recommend it for production use, though many do so 
successfully.  I also don't find may recent discussions of this topic online.

I don't expect to need to use any special hardware, just a sip trunk over our 
broadband connection.  We have about 150 phones at present.  Is ESX a viable 
platform for us?  And second, what is the recommended virtual configuration 
(mem, cpu, etc.)?  Any other considerations?

Thanks,
