AudioCodes are indeed beastly to configure, so be sure to save your config once you get it working. :) My only experience with an audiocodes was that it was a pain to get it working but once it worked it seemed to be okay. It wasn't my box so I can't speak to the long-term viability of the AudioCodes.<div>

Yes it is a hotel install. Not that I'm hooking up one, but I met<br>
somebody who's a 'system architect' and has been putting proprietary<br>
systems for clients for a while. He got interested and asked me for a<br>
hardware sizing so to speak, if I was to do it my way.<br>
For HA, having a standby machine seems more than sufficient. For ~160<br>
fxs, I think gateways (Audiocodes MP124?) would be a better idea.<br>
It'll save me doing the transcoding on the FS box as well. I hear the<br>
MP124 is a beast to configure, but works just fine.<br>
