Trixter,

I can't give you concurrent call figures for these systems as we haven't 
got permission from our customers to share this information, though you 
can safely assume many more than 200 total concurrent calls.

The 200 concurrent calls in my previous email is per Asterisk machine 
(with all but the smallest Enswitch systems having more than one 
Asterisk machine), and is general advice to new customers. The exact 
figure will of course depend on hardware, codecs, average call length, etc.
