 Thanks Gordon  Mike for the response.

 What accuracy are you getting from zaptest/dahdi_test (and system info).

 Two more questions:

 1) Does ztdummy requires change into kernel? I am running 2.6.9 kernel.
 2) What about CPU load?

I run a custom compiled kernel with the high resolution timers  HPET.

CPU load for me is next to nothing.

zttest for me:

# zttest -v

 ztdummy is not an issue.

 I have used ztdummy with 220 simultaneous participants in 18
 different conference groups.
 At one time, I had 60 machines running simultaneously in a FARM all
 of which were carrying
 the same 18 conference groups with over 200 participants active on
 each machine.

 I have one server which handles a few simultaneous conferences using
 just ztdummy - however there are rarely more than 4-5 participants and
 rarely more than 2 conferences on the go at any one time.. (2.5GHz AMD
 Semperon FWIW)

 Ztdummy using:


 ztdummy: Trying to load High Resolution Timer
 ztdummy: Initialized High Resolution Timer
 ztdummy: Starting High Resolution Timer
 ztdummy: High Resolution Timer started, good to go

 And zttest gets more 100%'s than not.

pro  cons of x100p vs ztdummy. Any other hardware suggestions for
