We ran Asterisk in a VPC instance (Redhat 8.0) for 3 months while we
evaluated Asterisk.  The only reason we had to move to a version of Linux
running directly on hardware was a need to run X101P cards.

We had no sound issues except when the host machine was printing.  The host
ran (still does) Windows 2000 Server, has an AMD Duron processor and 1GB
RAM.

Were the pops/drops/buzzes a problem only with communications via a
telephony card?  I'm curious to know if one could run * in a vmware
session (only VoIP trunks), and if a telephony card is required, run
another instance of * (and the card drivers) on the host OS.

Thanks
