[asterisk-users] 400 calls at g711 how much cpu power

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

My only comment is that I am having moral issues with assisting anyone 
that is planning to call one million phone numbers to play a message and 
hang up.  Doesn't sound like an "opt-in" kind of campaign to me.  When 
such a thing happens to me on my home phone I get extremely angry.
