I have people doing at least ~30 calls in that manner.
Could you describe the hardware/software and general config when you had ~30 channels working as above? I assume you mean with no affect to the audio quality/etc as well? > That's just glorified packet forwarding (okay not really, but I can't > think of anything better). Well, I hoped it would be quite similar to NAT... ie, fiddle with some bits in the packet, but the majority of the packets contents is the same. Though I also figure SIP <-> IAX2 does actually take 1 packet per channel being trunked, combine it into a single packet, and then send it off. > > As far as "how many" -- this is where you must do the research and post > > results.

Well, up until yesterday afternoon, I was going to get three different mini-ITX systems, and go ahead and test it, however, now I'm wondering what the real-life reliability difference is between a via mini-itx system, the aforementioned Soekris board, and a standard (decent) PC is. I've seen many standard PC's last 5years +, then again, I've also seen plenty of failures, though these are generally related to the HDD, fan, or power supply. So, I'm wondering does anyone have real-life comparisons on the failure rate of a PC compared to the failure rate of some of these options??
