That Hotel need about 96 extensions. I will use 4 channel banks and connect them
with T1 and I will use 3 E1 lines for connection to TelcoProvider.
I will create also about 5 extensions for SIP IP PHONES.

So I am happy to hear that Dell 2650 with dual 2.8Ghz processor will handle it.
Of course I would like to run some small IVR system with AutoAttendent.
