I am thinking of using a mini atx 1u server with a digium zaptel (wcte11xp) installed to act as a SIP gateway. This way any of my asterisk servers can forward calls to any gateway (seperated by about 3miles of fiber). Has anyone else tried this? I would just load a basic asteisk config and zaptel with something like CentOS 4.4 ServerCD. Here is the hardware I am thinking of. http://www.abmx.com/1u-short-depth-rack-mount-server-p-256.html It seems like this would be alot cheaper than getting a pre-built sip gateway from VOX. Any input is greatly appreciated. Forrest
Not that server model, right now we have a dell server for testing (which puts the server cost ata round $2000). I am hoping to get one in to see if it will play nice with the TDM cards. This appealed to me because of it's small rackable form factor and cheap price. For that price I can have a cold/hot spare. I will post again if I have luck.

To rich for my blood. Googled it. Looks like it is about $12000, I hope to stay in the $1500 range. We are but mearly a private school.
