[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and VMWare

[Dan]

Hi Steven,

The PC is behind a NAT firewall/router, so this is not a real issue for the
moment.
It is online 24/7 for allmost 2 years now without any major problem.
It hosts my Home Automation engine and it must remain powered on full time.

I do not intend to install X just for VMWare.

Thanks,
Dan
