Very true. As I mentioned in my talk, we've seen Kannel run 200+ messages per second on a single dual processor Pentium II system (an old enterprise box indeed) with only 256 MB RAM.

Imagine a web application with as many transactions as you have a projected rate of SMS messages coming in. That seems to be a pretty good rule of thumb. -- dido Sans les mathematiques on ne penetre point au fond de la philosophie. Sans la philosophie on ne penetre point au fond des mathematiques.
