Does this make a significant improvement? The box in question I was going to try this with has a 4 port TDM card w/ plenty of horsepower, but I do intend to later migrate to a Soekris unit running Astlinux and therefore might not have the power to run it after. If the difference is significant, I may move to an ITX board so I could use a bigger CPU, but only if the hassle is worthwhile. Any opinions appreciated. jlc

But slightly off-topic: If you want to use OSLEC instead, I lately managed to squeese better performance from it using the MMX optimizations: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=13500 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20081113215314.GM31838%40xorcom.com&forum_name=freetel-oslec -- 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

What you might want to do it try OSLEC, and if that performs OK for you, then you might consider buying the HPEC licenses - I imagine their code/cpu usage might be the same, but then if you try OSLEC and it works for you, you might not bother with HPEC...
