[Asterisk-Users] Confused --> Hardware specs

[Vasyl Rublyov]

Are you going to use single E1 line? How many concurrent calls.

Single Xeon 3.0 with *1 GB *ram should serve 30-32 calls with not 
problem, even during G729 transcoding and echo cancellation.
If you are not plaining to do G729 transcoding - then I believe you can 
put more then 32 calls in this box.
