Out of curiosity, do any of you think that the ML350 would be a better choice, with similar options? They're a lot cheaper too, and I haven't found any negative reports (no solid positive reports either) yet. The Debian install will be a bit annoying, but that's alright, as long as it's do-able. -- Dana _______________________________________________ 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
