My initial reaction was similar, my thought would be that it would come down to the architecture that was chosen. I would not expect a single server implementation for either that many users or for a university (not that I think a single server properly built and configured couldn't handle it). I would think that someone either didn't do their research or was biased before the decision was made ... this is normal in any situation, I know I am biased to rolling a certain type of solution and have had issues with other people more inclined to take another view on things. -- Nikolai Lusan <niko...@lusan.id.au> _______________________________________________ -- 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
