I have heard of a company, name completely escapes me right now, that appears to use Linux-Vserver. I am trying to find the time to move my business system to a Linux-Vserver from a Micro-Linux Asterisk Server and the only issue I'm aware of is DAHDI/ZAPTEL might have to be run in the "host" instead of the guests. Then some permissions set so the guests can access it DAHDI. \\||/ Rod -- > > Gordon > -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- 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
