asterisk users - Jun 2007 - question on capacity

Can one server (like AMD 6000+ X2) with 2 GIG ram
running asterisk 1.4 handle having 2100 wireless phones connected.
All phones will not be talking at the same time only a couple will be.

There may be 1 T1 card in the box.

Will this work? If not how does one handle this situation.

Thanks,

Jerry

Any transcoding involved, or will you be using G711u on all the phones? 
How many, max, do you see talking at the same time? What will the 
reregistration interval be for the phones (How often will they check 
into the Asterisk box)?

yes, it can work, but not with asterisk alone. SIP phones consume a lot
of resources in asterisk. Better is a setup with a combo of (open)ser
and asterisk, basically asterisk will be a gateway to the fixed phone
net...
