Zaheer, this post did show up on the 11th, I am guessing few people have attempted this, hence no feedback. -baji. -- On 10/11/07, Zaheer Master wrote: Hi All, I have done some research on Asterisk and I would like to try it in my office.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk System Setup Question
Yes that is correct. I have no analog phone service here, I plan on using direct SIP Trunking. My connections to the internet are two load balanced high-speed connections. The first is a cable modem operating at 20d/5u and the second is a fiber optic connection that is operating at 20d/5u. Both lines can be upgraded and the fiber optic connection is backed by an SLA. -Original Message- Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk System Setup Question Zaheer Master wrote: AsteriskNow running one of two ways: 1) As a virtual machine on a VMWare server (Eight core Xeon server with 4GB ram) You wouldn't be able to add TDM cards to this scenario if you wanted to down the line, as vmware can't access the hardware installed in a box. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk System Setup Question
Thanks for the quick response Dean. Can you elaborate any more? The reason I would like to use the virtual machine is that I can dynamically allocate more resources to the asterisk server as needed.
