It'll be strictly for a general business environment. I would assume
that not all 200 are going to be on the phone at the same time.
The reason I was looking for cheaper phones was because I didn't want
the startup cost to be too high. Could you recommend a decent SIP
phone at a reasonable price? I've used the Polycom 650's, but I think
those are a bit pricey.

Age old question... what do you want to do with it??
How many people will be on the phone at the same time?
What interfaces & how many - TDM/SIP/w HW echo etc? (as each have
different
load levels).
Is this a call centre - will there be queuing? Or is this strictly a
General
Business environment?
If the request for cheap phones comes from the client -- RUN. This
is an
indicator of a client who expects a Yugo to do the job of a tractor
trailer
(and when it doesn't you know whose phone will be ringing). A standard
business telephone costs about the same as a decent SIP phone. If
they ever
had ownership experience with any other phone system they would know
this.

Subject: [on-asterisk] Server for Asterisk / Phones
Hi,
I'm looking to put in a new dedicated asterisk server running Trixbox
and FreePBX to handle the phone needs of some clients. I was wondering
if this would handle about 200 clients, or if I should go more
powerful.
HP Proliant DL120 G5 p/n: 465476-001 [1xDualCore Xeon 3065 2.33Ghz, 1
GB RAM, 1xPCI-E x4, 1xPCI-E x8,]
Add 2GB RAM and 2x250 SATA HD
The other thing I'm looking at is affordable SIP phones, preferably
under $100. Right now I can get the Linksys SPA942's for $117, and the
Planet VIP-550's for $120.
Any other suggestions for phones? Or would one of these do the trick?
Cheers,
Dave Lahn
