I seriously doubt 1 server will handle that type of load (unless you 
throw about 15 processors in it)..

My advice would be to setup 1 server per 1000 users (working on appox 10 
to 1 ratio of active calls) then setup IAX trunks between the servers 
and the PSTN gateways..

This way if a server fails then you only have 1000 users down and not 
the whole company..

Later..
