That's a very open-ended question. Your accurate answer: It depends. At home I have my P3/700 (which is also an NFS/SMB server and NFS root for my mythtv box) also running asterisk. Hell the TDM430P and ethernet share the same interrupt and it works *fine* for me. This is most certainly NOT an optimal situation for most people though. At the office I have two dedicated Asterisk boxes and they work well too. For a beginner such as yourself I would *strongly* recommend using dedicated hardware until you understand enough about the interactions to be able to intelligently guess what's going to happen. It's not like you need a lot of horsepower for a regular asterisk box. I was using a P90 without MMX for a while, but it was only one FXS and one FXO port. -A. _______________________________________________ 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
