Hello!
I'm new to Asterisk, although I've had my eye on it for about a
year now. I just recently installed in on RedHat 8 on a 2 GHZ system,
but the sound was choppy - presumably from the onboard sound card (I
read about that in the archives).
So I stuck Asterisk on an old ISA system - 300 Mhz, 100 mb ram,
RedHat 8, and SoundBlaster 32. While there was much improvement in the
playback quality (the default greeting setup that comes with Asterisk),
there were a few choppy sections - certainly not acceptable to replace
our current phone system. However, as I am not (yet :) a VOIP &
Asterisk expert, I would like some input from those of you who are
successfully using Asterisk.
1. What would a good demo system consist of for about 5 - 10 VOIP
clients? (speed, memory, sound card, etc.)
2. What would a good operational system consist of for about 120
end user analog phones coming in to a Digium card through channel banks,
and about 20 to 30 VOIP clients? (speed, memory, sound card, etc.)
I would like to replace our old phone system with Asterisk if it is
feasible. I'm also looking for answers from people who have/are
successfully using Asterisk as a PBX.
Thanks for your help!
