A simple PC? Thats just asking for trouble. In my experience if this is an enterprise, you would need atleast a HP ML 150 with redundant PSU and Raid 5 + 1 spare disk, redundant fans EVERYWHERE! :) Dont get me wrong. I think the idea of having a USB channel bank is great- but deployment in distributed or a 'campus' network would be very problematic compared to a quintum/grandstream SIP gateway (completely solid state / no pc required/ consumes little power) -- Faraz R Khan Chief Architect Emergen Consulting Pvt Ltd www.emergen.biz _______________________________________________ -- 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
