[Asterisk-Users] Do the quantity of hardware timing devices go up as call volume increases?
Hi,
Is there any difference in the amount of hardware timing
something like a Wildcard X100P can provide over something like a
Wildcard TE411P? If someone has a machine that pretty much just does
very low volume MeetMe, Voicemail, SIP + IAX and 2 or 3 channels
worth of codec translation at most, could they get by on a X100P?
Assuming an environment where this particular box gets it's PSTN
channels from via an IAX trunk, what needs timing? Just meetme or are
there other applications that would benefit from Zaptel hardware?

There's been some argument that a software timer should work just fine, but nobody's stepped up and provided the patches and test cases.> Assuming an environment where this particular box gets it's PSTN > channels from via an IAX trunk, what needs timing?
