[asterisk-users] How does Asterisk scale to 500-1000 phones?

[Jesse Molina]

Thank you very much for your reply ‹ extremely helpful.  I received only one
other response to the question.

We would absolutely have to do TDM conversion, but we only need about two
DS1s, maybe a third or fourth some day in the future.

I will keep your name and may seek further information from you in the
future, Bryan.

Any other comments on the subject would be very, very much appreciated.
I¹ve not seen much of any comments about the issue of scaling to the needs
of larger organizations for Asterisk.
