Hi Elliott, I guess your question is about really about scalability. All of these GUI's use about the same resorces and will handle 60+ extensions provided you follow good networking practice and use resonably fast PC Scalability is a well worn issue so I won't go into it here but there are numerus places that have tested asterisk under various conditions/loads and 60+ is no big deal.
