[Asterisk-Users] VoIP service through Asterisk?

[dean collins]

You will be very disappointed at the call quality if you try and run
other software on an asterisk box, pc interrupts and processing glitches
just don't 'play well' with voice.

For $200 a an old P3/P4 pc it's worth buying a separate box.



Cheers,
Dean

Ah! Thanks for the pointer. I was suspicious that I was unable to find 
a page like that in the wiki, but I apparently was just using the wrong 
keywords.

I looked at Asterisk at Home, but it seems to require a disk format, and I 
don't have a spare box. I'm going to be running Asterisk alongside some 
other things on my existing Linux box. Having the automated setup would 
otherwise be great.

Thanks to everybody for your replies...great info!
