RES: [asterisk-dev] Astricon: Serious Asterisk Testing

[Walter Rodrigues Filho]

Jeremy -

Hi. I do have a brand new Dell 1800 PowerEdge Dual Xeon (EM64T),  off the
box today (Oct 25).
I should take a few hours to put it up and running with valid IP address.
I could make it available for your testing if it is timely.
I do also have some E1 and FXO/FXS cards from Digium should it be neceesary.
Let me know.
Let me know ASAP.

I have some perl which coordinates many asterisk machines making telephone

Shout if any of the information or perl is of use...
