If it is of any assistance, we just dropped a 90 seat call center with a 
predictive dialer onto an Asterisk 1.2 box this afternoon w/ a TE405P in 
it. Over the course of 1/2 hour, they sent 3,000 calls through the box and 
it is still going strong! ;)

It's being hammered without mercy, and this is a single Intel 3Ghz CPU 
doing SIP -> ZAP w/ G729 and SIP -> SIP Passthrough. They are averaging 
about a call a second through the box.

We had more problems with our SIP Termination upstream not being able to 
handle the load... Asterisk didn't blink.
