Scott,

	On my own testing I could get 200 simultaneous calls on a Xeon 2.4
using SIPP, each call was 10sec so the box had 20 incomming cps,
obviously this was using SIP not Zap. Since I don't have another Xeon to
put on my box how do MP scale ? I believe that I cannot get 400 calls
for 2 Xeon but maybe 350.
	I have read on this lists that even on a Xeon the TE410P starts to drop
calls when reaching 90 lines so the fourth port is almost useless for a
UP machine.
