Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on VMware Workstation 6
Its really just a very minor system I am running, its sole purpose is a vm basically. Well a VM that can redirect calls based on number. I would prefer to just run it on this windows machine doing nothing most of the time. Id rather not buy an appliance, maybe if its $100 but I would rather just grab an old celeron pc I have laying around and use that, but I am trying to do this green and since this windows pc is running 24/7 anyways (cause I never know when I will need to connect to it) I figured it was a good shot. Maybe a different virtualization software like virtual pc would run better. I think some tweaking is what I need though, I don't care if the call quality is great, I just want it usable.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk on VMware Workstation 6
Your idea (and adam's to run xen) is a very good idea. I have considered it but I'd rather not do a complete reinstall on this xp machine, but if I can deal with that then it would prob work well. I am going to play with the settings, etc to try to get this working first though. Or like I mentioned maybe I will try virtual pc.

You don't want Asterisk down because it's Patch Tuesday again. While you're at it, use VMWare Server 2.0, which doesn't cost anything more than Player and might work better. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
