Thanks for your answer to my earlier query, but answering this one in this manner WILL NOT GET YOU INVITED TO CHRISTMAS DINNER !!! (to paraphrase one Sergeant Murtagh) I understand that some geek types don't have much time for non-techies who they feel don't want to do their diligence, but non techies have one trait - if they don't know something they ASK, they don't try to work out everything for themselves, unlike of the wheel reinventing that seems to dog the geek world. This can be a VIRTUE. Concentrating on one's unique added value in any area of endeavour matters. I have installed Asterisk but my expertise in it does not extend to simulating the demands of 60 calls, as I don't have the facilities to put 60 real calls through them, and it could take me days if not weeks to get to that stage. Does it hurt to inquire? Would you be happier if I asked for a way to simulate 60 calls on a box? If you can point me the way I would be happy with that. You might be annoyed at the noise level, but this is a users mailing list, not an advanced users mailing list. The nice man Adam posted this link http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+setup+medium+office+100, which led me to find out a lot more and so did a few others. Please Andrew, the mailing lists are not just a place to vent your pet peeves, they are also a place where you can be nice to others - does one Victor Meldrew spring to mind (hopefully you are not that old) :-). If you have a critical comment to make, by all means do so, but try to go some way in helping with the question. I also have no intention to skimp on the pennies. Yours Obelix. PS. You will get invited to dinner now.

That is not meant as an insult, either. Get it working, THEN > start looking to pinch the pennies.
