<div>Thanks for that wisdom, Bob. For this current job, we have the luxury of running a separate network for voice, and can put aside QOS (for now).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Being completely paranoid, I want to buy equipment (switch & PC) proven to operate an * PBX for 50-90 users and 48 concurrent calls. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>-- Dell is our preferred PC vendor. Can anyone recommend, based on actual experience, a Dell PC model for *, and 48 concurrent calls? (The Dell recommended models on the Wiki are out of date) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>-- 3COM is our preferred basic switch vendor. Can anyone recommend, based on actual experience, a 3COM switch model for *, and 48 concurrent calls?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance for aiding my considerable paranoia!</div>

<div>Once you start adding L3 to even L6 and 7 services the party gets smaller and more expensive. At the point you are building a network that requires QOS, Priority, Per port VLAN's etc you may as well build with service provider class switching gear like Foundry and Cisco etc. It will help us all by eliminating complaints about "VOIP and Asterisk" being not ready for prime deployment due to maturity issues when in reality, it works fine on a well designed and constructed network. Most of the time the Telephony system get's blamed for what is actually a poorly designed network. "Low cost" and "Business grade" may not coexist yet. So just bite the bullet and use Foundry or Cisco. We have deployed a couple systems with over 400 IP voice endpoints and things are lookin good because of the proper L3 and QOS functionality that was properly designed in to the final solution.</div>

<div>Or, with cheap MAC switching you can just run seperate networks. I mean, why complicate things by converging voice and data. With L2 switching equipment so cheap. But you'll have to run two cat6 drops everywhere. It's a trade off. We have done it both ways.</div>
