We have a test server that runs a single PIII 500MHz(256MB RAM) under Slackware, and we can get 12 SIP -> Zap calls running on it just fine. Over that and we have seen intermittant errors like call quality and very high load spikes. You should be able to get at least 24 SIP -> Zap on that setup. Post on the list when you do max it out. It's always good to see capacity specs.

Currently I have 16 users, 10 CISCO 7912G Using ULAW 3 Sipura 1000's Using GSM or g726 2 Motorola MTA VT1005's Using ULAW 1 Iaxy Using ULAW and g726 So far I've had 7 concurrent calls with mixed codecs and no issues on call quality. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this type of config?

The more RAM is always better, but you should not really need any more than 1GB for even a large system. 512 is recommended and 256 will work fine for a small system. What do y'all consider the minimum amount of RAM for passing as an asterisk server? That depends on what you want to do. for a home system a PII 250MHz will probably work just fine. What point is overkill on a per user basis? (If anyone's researched this.) Processor is usually the limiter that you will run up against, and what will most determine what kind of capacity you can get out of your system.
