[asterisk-users] can 2 quad T1 cards work in 1 quad core amd server

2009-07-09 Thread Jerry Geis
I was wondering if (2) quad T1 cards
will work nicely in 1 server with a quad core AMD 3.0 gig cpu?

Basically used to dial out and deliver messages. play wav files for the 
message.

Any thoughts.

Jerry

Within the environment you described, yes.

But why would you want to put 184 to 192 eggs in one basket?

He could put a T1 failover box in front and have two identical servers :P

I see your point, but I have 1.2.x boxen with eight T1 ports that have years
of uptime.  Just don't mess with them and make sure they have clean/constant
power.

This is not a telemarkeing machine.


Customer wants to be able to contact their own people with this
(I  dont ask why)

I thought about a second machine and using SIP to connection back to the
server. Is that a better solution? have 1 card in the server and another 
card in
another machine running SIP trunk back?

Redfone might make an 8 port.

TDMoE would work but SIP works just fine.  I have run a DS3 worth of traffic
over SIP and I am sure many others have done much much more.

Yes. Buy a server that has the corresponding ports to accommodate the
cards. A modern server is probably going to have PCI-E slots and
you'll want the appropriate TDM cards.

 Any thoughts.

Yes. That's a lot of power to drive a comparatively small number of calls.

Also, I find it interesting that so many of the answers to these
questions turn into a:
'you're going to use that for bad purposes'
which is retorted with:
'no I'm not'

I will say that I make a boatload of these outgoing 'play a file'
calls, and they are for legitimate purposes to existing customers. Is
it really that hard to imagine a business with a good reason to call
their customers?

I think that if somebody asked for a postal machine that processed a
large number of letters somebody would say 'you're using that for junk
mail', and somebody else would say 'fine, I won't mail you your
paycheck'. I mostly just think it amusing that everybody has bad
motives until proven otherwise. And moreover, the idea that you can
somehow inoculate the world from people with bad motives if you don't
provide assistance.

well just look at the fact that the cost to place a call is declining 
and the cost to mail a letter is increasing, then you see where the 
focus of abuse is going.
