[Asterisk-Users] Dinosaur *

Hello,

With some trepidation I've come to inquire about platform requirements for * 
after having spent a couple of hours searching and browsing the archives and 
skimming the Handbook (very nice). I've found recommendations for 800-1000 
Mhz and 128-256 MB RAM machines. My curiosity is not about what machine I 
need to start using * to support live comm ops.  Rather, I want to know if a 
couple of dinosaurs that I have in the corner can be used to do some learning.

I have a Pentium 133Mhz 16MB RAM box with PCI bus, and a Pentium 75Mhz 32MB 
RAM box with PCI bus.  Will these boxes work for back-to-back experimentation 
with PRI in this configuration?:

POTS phone-----[ * ]---PRI---[ * ]---POTS phone

I assume that I'll need to get a couple line cards and a couple T1 cards.

Thx,
--
