[asterisk-users] Is Asterisk ready for Prime-Time?

[Steve Totaro]

All I can say is what has worked best for me over the years trying
many different boxen.  IBM X Series and HP DL 3XXs, have heard that
Supermicro is "Super", just have not the pleasure yet.

Dells have given me problems, not always, but enough to be bitten
once, and twice shy...

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
