            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 &nbsp;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>

                &gt; What is the application for 160 FXS ports? Are you

                &gt; In the case of a failure of box 1 you could have

                &gt;&gt; Hi,<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; Happy New Year!<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; What would you recommend for a solution that
                requires ~160 fxs ports?<br>
                &gt;&gt; Should I get a Sangoma A200, in fact 7 of them
                and put them on to my<br>
                &gt;&gt; server or look for other products like
                Audiocodes/Patton fxs gateways<br>
                &gt;&gt; etc?<br>
                &gt;&gt; If I choose Sangoma cards, then I don't think I
                can set up a HA<br>
                &gt;&gt; scenario since, all fxs ports will be on the FS
                box itself.<br>
                &gt;&gt; But from what I've read people have horrible
                things to say about most<br>
                &gt;&gt; gateway devices. They are prone to failure and
                the support is also<br>
                &gt;&gt; very lax.<br>
                &gt;&gt; So what good would be HA anyway, if one of
                these gateways fails and<br>
                &gt;&gt; knocks 32 fxs ports off!<br>
                &gt;&gt; Also I see that Sangoma is actively involved
                with the FreeSwitch<br>
                &gt;&gt; project and digging through the mailing lists,
                I could see great<br>
                &gt;&gt; support as well.<br>
                &gt;&gt; Is it advisable to have 6-7 cards with 12 fxs
                modules each on my FS<br>
                &gt;&gt; server?<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; Any suggestions/pointers/heads-up would be
                really appreciated.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; Thanks<br>
