I am considering a G5/XServe for a conferencing system. I need to put a TDM card in the machine for timing. Is anyone out there using Asterisk on Mac with zaptel drivers? I am looking at using Linux for the OS. If so what is your experience? Have a great day! Geoff

Out of interest why use a G5 over an x86 PC? Do you feel the performance will be better, or do you just prefer Mac's?

I've been trying to get a test G5 in our office from Terrasoft for the last few months. They are very interested and we have offered to give them a deposit for the machine while we test it for a week, but they don't seem to have a machine that they want to send us. Anyone else know of another Asterisk-eager vendor that might lend us a machine for a week for us to test so we can post our results? an Xserve wouldn't be the best option because it can only hold one TE405P card, we would prefer to test on a Dual G5 tower. Then again beggers can't be choosers and we'd just like any high end G5 mac made in the last 6 months to test on.

It seems that the Mac is better designed to handle the IO requirements demanded of an audio centric application like Asterisk. I don't know the answer. I haven't seriously touched a Mac in 20 years. I will probably be taking the plunge though.
