Personally, not a big fan of Dell Servers. That being said, I've deployed Asterisk in many of the new R series 1 & 2 U servers with Digium cards. Initial deployments have been without issue. Longterm have had the random drive failure and heat issues I've come to experience with Dell servers. ---fred http://qxork.com _______________________________________________ -- 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
