Hi, I've searched the archives and can't find a satisfactory answer to this question: Does anybody out there have experience using * in large VoIP deployments? That is, switching large number of minutes from PSTN to VoIP and vice versa? How stable is it, what are the user experiences. I know Voicepulse and a few others do that, but I'd be interested to hear the experiences, what hardware is in use (e.g. who is using digium T1/E1 cards). Would greatly appreciate input on this Thanks _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

I have it on my network but it is still on a day-to-day evaluation case for me. Sometimes the quality is not at its best, probably because I am only using 800MHz CPU running SIP, Digium, T1-PRI, with g729 licenses. Maybe if you could spare time to put it on a high-end machine and evaluate, you'll find better results. Just take note that echo-cancellation, etc. of * is based on software (and is CPU intensive). Unlike existing VoIP gateways on the market, they have hardware chips (DSPs). Plus, most users of * is g711. Finding support for G729 is difficult though. For calling card application, it will be quite successful, as number of users for calling card is not as many as for wholesale. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Matte" <rwenzorione@hotmail.com> To: <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 11:32 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Using * for large VoIP implementation> Hi, > > I've searched the archives and can't find a satisfactory answer to this > question: Does anybody out there have experience using * in large VoIP > deployments?

Thanks for that information. It was useful, however some live examples, if anybody can give them, would be nice.
