So VMWare messes around with clock timing. This is a Bad Thing if you're trying to do things that rely on faithful timing, such as audio mixing for a MeetMe conference room. If you're only doing very simple things like playing messages or ordinary bridged two-way phone calls it probably wouldn't be as bad. If call quality matters, at all, I wouldn't go that route. If managing a real server with asterisk is too hard for your data center, may I humbly suggest an asterisk appliance? _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
