G729 is roughly 25 MIPS (encode+decode), coppice, please correct as
necessary.
A dual quad-core xeon 3 ghz should do roughly 1k calls, assuming nothing
else is being run.

Or places where licensing isn't enforced, like offshore g729 farms :)

32 x 1.5 GHZ = 48 Ghz or roughly 2000 channels ...

Yeh, but not when you have FS :)

which is why talks of this capacity on HMP are becoming more and more
relevant ...
