[TriLUG] Some basic * questions

[Cristobal Palmer]

I think ssh will give you trouble; I wouldn't try tunneling that way.
Other people can answer better when it comes to securing your calls.

Some stuff I _can_ respond to:

> 2 - Server.

My asterisk box sports an AMD k6 300 and 384MB of RAM. It's just me,
mind you, but it works wonderfully.

> 3 - Client-side.  What's the best PC-based client-side software to use

Try Gizmo (SIP client)

> 4 - Bandwidth.

Is there a router involved on the employee end that handles QoS
properly (eg. a WRT54G)? If so, don't worry about what the user is
doing too much.  If not, ask others how you might implement it. At the
'rents we have a WRT54GL, and I've had multiple bittorrents going
while on a call.

HTH,
