asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Hardware requirements

I don't seem to be able to find the necessary hardware
specs for an Asterisk server. What I have in mind is a
dedicated server to serve 50 or so people. All users
will use SIP phones and there will be an ISDN gateway
for outgoing/incoming calls. Do you have any
suggestions about the server specs (CPU, RAM, HD,
etc)?

Also, has anyone used Epigi Quadro ISDN gateway with
Asterisk? If so, what is the necessary configuration
on Asterisk?

You would "get away" with a 1GHz intel (or intel like) processor for
this
system, so the answer is: "Any modern server will do the job you need it 
to".

Can't help you there I'm afraid.

We use dell 860 rackmount server - not too expensive, readily available
and can handle well over 50 phones.
