Hey guys, I'm looking for some realworld specs on somebodys machine that will work with the Digium 4-port T1/PRI card and that will support 96 simultaneous calls. Dell is soon to release the PowerEdge 1850: 2U, Dual 3.6Ghz Xenon, 1Gb DDR2 RAM, Dual 36GB Ultra320 SCSI RAID, Hot swap Powersupply, one 64bit 133Mhz PCI and one 64bit 100Mhz PCI for about $3,000. Tack on a 4 port Digium card and you have a Cisco AS5300 that can do FAR MORE for $15,000 less. I just need to know if this machine can support 96 simul calls in all kinds of configurations: Ex 1: 48 calls come into PRIs 1&2 and I send them back out PRIs 3&4. Ex 2: 96 calls come into PRIs 1-4 and I send them all out over ethernet via SIP to a carrier. Ex 2a: All outgoing 96 calls as SIP are G711. Ex 2b: All outgoing 96 calls as SIP are G729. Ex 3: 96 calls come in via SIP (some 711, some 729) from carrier and I terminate on all 4 PRIs Comments? Suggestions? Thanks, Matthew

I also doubt very many people have tried it on any recent hardware, but it'd be interesting to find out :-)

Let us know if you actually get to test the SIP -> g.729 96 channel setup and what the outcome was. Regards, Patrick
