I have an asterisk 1.6.2 server running on Debian Lenny on ESX which
bridges ENUM SIP and Skype Calls with our Cisco PBX (connected via
SIP). I have not heard of any problems so far regarding timing. Voice
is always clear and fine.<br>

second problem with VMWare in a virtual machine is timing. On a

poorer sound quality due to dropouts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Hello,<br>
<br>
Is it possible to install Asterisk on Vmware(centos) from source. Is
there any difference or disadvantage for this compared to asterisk
running on physical machine.<o:p></o:p></p>
