asterisk users - Nov 2008 - Server for 25-30 phones, sip trunks over the net

What cpu/memmory configurations have people had good luck with for a
small office asterisk server... (polycom's/poe linksys)

Dell's got their $200 SC440 going again until the 12th... and I'm
thinking it might be just the ticket...

You want to google 'asterisk dimensoining' and search the archives here 
and the voip-wiki.

But anything over 500MHz will work for you. I regullarly have that many 
phones on my standard unit of 1GHz fanless VIA boards and the cpu doesn't 
notice the load. (but make sure you're not transcoding)

The Dell will make a lot of noise and generate a lot of heat, but it'll be 
more than adequate.

Hm. SC400 has a starting price of ?422 in the UK today )-:

Well, we're running an asterisk 1.4.x system with a te220 span adapter 
(T1 PRI). 83 internal SIP peers, mostly Polycom Soundpoint IP series 
phones. It's a single-CPU dual-core Pentium E6420. The OS is CentOS 4.5 
(x86_64). Seems to work well, though it's only busy with call switching, 
voicemail, and call recording.

Cheers,
Ben
