This is a good choice...I will stick some more memory too, but for the
moment it seems not to be neccessary.
The smallest configuration used by me for an Asterisk installation was a
Compaq Armada 1700 (Celeron@300, 128MB RAM), for pure IP telephony (SIP,
IAX
and H.332 based). It is still in "production" as a small IAX/SIP
and
GSM/G.711 gateway (used as a physical support for a Cisco 7960 phone
too..:-))). I have two SIP/G.711 Cisco 7960 phones at my office and the
small PBX is used to connect to my main PBX at home. A direct connection of
the phones through internet (SIP/G.711) to the home PBX is unreliable, but
with a small local PBX (connected through IAX/GSM to the home one) is
perfect.
