asterisk users - May 2005 - Dell PowerEdge SC420 for Office Implementati on???

Thanks!

So aside from the lack of redundancy, will it perform well and scale to
utilize a full T1's worth of calls through to the legacy PBX?

We would probably build a backup server from old equipment and rsync the
configuration files.

Thanks again!

Wouldn't we need the TE110P card to interface with the T1 card of our legacy
PBX. That will give us 24 channels to work with. Am I on the wrong track
here?

Thanks. 

We will be looking to implement the TE110P in these servers. We are
successfully using them in other Dell servers.
