Well, I have to have some centralized way of storing voicemail that all the
* boxes can access.  Its either network storage, SAN, or all the * boxes
with t1 cards do IAX to a central * box that will do all the voicemail.  I
didn't think I'd have much of a problem getting the nfs box to keep up as
long as its got enough horsepower (dual cpu, gig NIC, serial ata raid 5+1),
and if I do, SAN is the next step...

What do you think?
