Some of us take "enterprise grade servers", but decide to not use some of the facilities they offer - for a whole host of reasons. Eg. right now Dell[1] don't offer RAID-6 in hardware, so I do it in software, bypassing their on-board RAID-5 controllers. And when a server's 300 miles away (as some of mine are) a blinky light isn't much use )-: Gordon [1] Not that I particulatly regard Dell as "enterprise grade" but that's for another list, and was just using it as an example here. _______________________________________________ --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
