Brian,
Sorry to bring this up but I just have to ask a question.
When you say a 3 gig mac mini with vmware will run a whole voice lab, do you
mean absolutely everything? If not, what can it not run? As in what might
one have to rent online racks for? Also, any help with set up will be
appreciated (dynamips)
Thanks for your anticipated reply.
