The big drivers for virtualization are server consolidation and software testing, so it might be awhile until a serious effort to optimize audio processing gets mounted. I'll see what the Asterisk folks have to say about this... 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "

Dave, I am still not understanding what these virtual OS things can do. Can I take a basic PC and install Zen on it running under say Novell Linux and then install Windows XP and run XP as a sort of task under Zen? What it really sounds like is that if I have a server system, I can run differe

Used PCs are indeed cheap, but the time required to keep them in operational form (backups, software updates, etc.) is not. If you're logging QSOs from applications running on different PCs, there's also the issue of maintaining a consistent log. If the objective is to facilitate testing on dif

Commander lets you specify connection parameters for up to 4 transceivers, and select among them either automatically based on band or manually via a mouse click. To enable the automatic routing of soundcard audio input and output to the currently-selected transceiver, Commander can be configu

Used PCs are dirt cheap these days. For example, a high end Dell GX1 (P3) sells for less than $100.00. Disk space is usually not an issue. 256Mb of RAM will run almost digital program. Suggestion: If purchasing a second machine, make sure it has both USB and RS-232 ports. A lot of the older di

I'm just wondering what those people with more than one rig and just one PC do with their setup in the varying digital mode software? The software usually requires you to set up the configuration area for type of radio, baud rate, and PTT line. Do you have different folders of the same software e
