Erick and Steve,

You both speak of Asterisk systems capable of handling 1,000 calls.  I 
currently have a Dell PowerEdge 6850 with four Intel Xeon 3.16 GHz 
processors in production using Asterisk to handle inbound calling at a 
call center.

I've done a lot of tuning to the server, and I've seen it running at 45% 
idle while handling approximately 235 concurrent calls.  All calls that 
are connected to an agent are recorded via Monitor() and all calls that 
are in queue are receiving native music on hold.  All of the calls are 
SIP-to-SIP using the u-Law codec.

Do you actually have an Asterisk server that has been tested to handle 
1,000 concurrent calls?  If so, I'd like to know what you are doing to 
squeeze so much out of the hardware.

Thank you,
