[OpenSER-Users] OpenSER Question

[ListAcct]

Klaus,

That's exactly what I had in mind using:

(A)
OpenSER
Trabas VoIP Billing
Cisco AS5300

(B)
SER
Trabas VoIP Billing
Cisco AS5300

Although I am trying to create a small scalable setup for 500-1000 users 
growing to (5000 max.)
What are the basic hardware requirements for something small like this? 
I was thinking dual or quad core with mysql on different box maybe 
(albeit I think something this small is ok on the same server maybe)? 
What is your setup or what do you recommend? I used the voip calculator 
on agile website do not know how close it is. I found that when I was 
search for voip billing software but they never answer the phones or 
voicemails so I ran across trabas open source seems nice and basic.
