We installed Oreka because the native recording functionality of IPCC 
kept making terrible recordings.  TAC said, "It's your LAN".  But 
funnily enough, an Oreka box in the same RSPAN records calls 
beautifully.  We have it running on a Win2K3 box on something like a P3 
1.2Ghz system.  CPU hovers around 0%.

The frontend web pages to Oreka make it easy to find the calls that 
you're interested in.

We ended up using a dual-NIC box; one NIC was for normal administration, 
the other NIC was in the RSPAN group.  I think we put a RFC1918 IP 
address on the RSPAN NIC just to keep Win2K3 quiet.

Definitely worth the 4 hours it took to download the other software 
pieces and configuration time.
