Don't know where you're buying that crap but quality CF modules have a per-sector lifetime of between 300,000 and 2,000,000 write cycles. On top of this, good quality CF modules have very sophisticated wear levelling firmware that map external block addresses to different physical sector addresses to reduce the possibility of "burning out" specific sectors from frequent updates. In addition to my work with NetVoice Communications I am also associated with a Linux fax software company (www.faximum.com) that ships a fax server appliance which run entirely on CF. We have customers sending hundreds of faxes per day (comparable to hundreds of voice mails per day) without any trouble after a year and a half (nor would we expect any problem). I.M.H.O. The fears expressed on this list about the lifetime of CF modules are not based on either the facts or empirical evidence. g. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
