Dear List Please excuse my ignorance ... a couple of questions on server sizing (D--- 2950) - Hard Drive Size for open source * or *BE? - # of Gps Ethernet ports (1 or 2? ) (I noticed one poster using one port for incoming calls and 2nd port for outgoing calls) - Any value to 4 GB Ram?

But before that, have a look at the WiKi - there's a lot of stuff there on provisioning ... Gordon

Unless you need a really big monster (hundreds of concurrent calls and such).> > - Hard Drive Size for open source * or *BE?the OS and everything should fit nicely in 10GB. Maybe 20GB, if you have lots of other things. In short: no worries here.> > - # of Gps Ethernet ports (1 or 2? ) (I noticed one poster using one port > for incoming calls and 2nd port for outgoing calls)1 GB interface should be good enough for around 16,000 concurrent g711 calls, in theory. I don't think that this is your bottleneck. In most cases even a 100MB NIC would work just as well without being a bottleneck. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
