[Asterisk-Dev] Answering Machine detection

Answering Machine detection is very CPU intensive in Asterisk and will very 
much limit your capacity per server if you implement it. This is because 
unlike expensive Dialogic boards, Digium cards do not have an array of 
on-board DSPs to handle the signal processing needed to accomplish good 
Answering Machine detection.

What percentage of Answering Machine detection are you trying to achieve?

How much delay time is acceptable to you? Dialogic systems range from 1-3 
seconds of delay while they process the signal to determine whether it 
thinks there is a person on the other end.

How many Lines do you think you are going to be able to have dialing 
outbound with Answering Machine detection active?

What kind of lines(trunks) will you be using this with? (T1/E1s, SIP, 
IAX...)

What predictive dialing software are you planning on using on Asterisk?
