asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Suggested System Specs - 20 ext, 8 Incoming Lines

Hello All,
     We're looking to put in an Asterisk server to handle 20 extensions and
8 incoming lines (likely PSTN), voicemail etc. At some point we will be
leveraging VOIP to add additional lines, and bridge two offices. What are the
minimum system specs you would suggest? If you were not looking for the minimum,
what would you suggest we run it off of? (Is there some rough formula for
calculating aproximate needs as far as CPU/RAM is concerned?)
     We are also looking to do this in house, but it would be new technology for
us. We need to have it up and running by Sept 16th. If we thought that we could
not make this deadline, and wanted to do outsource this setup to speed things
up, what would be the estimated cost for an installation? Thanks.

Just to clarify, we do not have a partial T1 or anything, just seperate
individual lines coming in.
