[Asterisk-Users] VoIP service through Asterisk?

[Peter Loron]

Hmm. Can you point me to some more info on that topic? I understand the 
concepts, I'm just after some more quantitative data.

I really don't have the room to run another machine, and I'm trying to 
limit my power consumption.

Thanks.
