I'm looking to install a basic asterisk system for my church with: 8 inbound sip channels 8 sip handsets basic voicemail room to grow (maybe doubling each of the above) What would be a recomended system as to needed processor and memory? Thanks, Eric

I may not need a 1 to 1 ratio of phones to sip channels.... Mostly I'm trying to be a bit conservative on my estimates to leave plenty of room for expansion and growth. I'm hoping that I won't need to do much transcoding (but I shouldn't as long as the phones and the ITSP use the same codec). a few of the inbound channels would be for access to voicemail and calls on them would likely never reach a phone.
