Of course the above goes counter to what we normally preach here. To run vmware you have to run X. We normally say to make sure X is turned off. We normally say to remove all extra functions off of your asterisk machine. I think the original poster is purposely setting asterisk up to fail by trying to put it under unrealistic conditions and expectations. You would not try installing a windows workstation on top of a key system. You don't want to cause your phones to have any problems. Nor will you want anything to bring your phone system down regardless of why. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
