There is very little required in terms of cpupower or memory. I'd probably choose an embedded system like soekris for that sort of stuff. Conrad
I have such a setup here myself, although not for 100 people. Any recent server will do, but make sure you don't call 100 people the same second, spread them a little over time. Google for .call files Zoa.

For more information: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out> what is the correct hardware for this?Any modern Linux, BSD (including OS X), or Solaris compatible computer to run asterisk. If you are using an ITSP (VoIP provider) you don't need any other hardware than your network card. If you have a PSTN phone connection, at the very least you'll need a card (like Digium, Sangoma, Rhino, etc), or an external gateway (like linksys, dlink, mediatrix, etc). - Noah
