[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and VMWare

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

Get a cheapo system with a VIA C3 or something.
Windoze + vmware destroys all the nice timing you might need to get good 
sound. With a VIA based system, you won't be able to support too many 
concurrent calls, but it's silent and cost effective (low-power etc)
