I'll second the Atoms - I have several in the data centre handling VoIP, virtual PBXs, etc. And you can now get fanless motherboards. Bliss. Even using a few as general purpose LAMP servers too - the data centre I use doesn't charge per amp, but it's coming, and already there in most big places - in the UK, anyway - it seems Amps cost more than Gb) > Likewise with transcoding - we've only really tested up to ~30 channels with > G.711 to GSM, not any of the "heavier CPU workload" translations (e.g. iLBC > or G.729). > > For a small to medium office (e.g. 30 extensions, 10 concurrent calls) it > works fine, even with a little conferencing and transcoding. I do that with a 500MHz AMD Geode ... (no transcoding though - benchmarked it to 85 concurrent calls, handling the media streams - limit these boxes to 60 extensions though) Gordon -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
