How are you going to be building this server? I am not going to claim to
be any sort of expert on </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In one
of your previous posts you mention E1 cards. In order to get 300 msgs at

<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>be
running 10 E1s, is this reasonable?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>How
many questions are there in your survey, how long is an average call going to
take?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>say
you have 5 questions, and a complete call will take approx 2
minutes</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>allow
for call-setup and call-breakdown - 15 sec</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>should
allow for 26calls per hour per channel @ 30 channels = 780 calls hour using just
1 E1</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In
this case you would only have, at maximum, 30 prompts playing at any one
time. From what I have seen in this mailing</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>list
there are servers out there doing a lot more than that (but I do not know what
the hardware is).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
built systems running at that level of traffic using the Contarra IVR platform
and running on a P4-1.6GHz with 512MB on a dialogic card.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=906492821-20122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Surely
an * box with a decent CPU & Memory can handle it no
