[cisco-voip] Cisco AS5400XM

[Kyle Sexton]

Cisco did come back with a quote for a Cisco 3925 as a potential
solution.  I've heard and spoke to people who have used the AS5400XM
device with an Asterisk PBX, but haven't heard any reports on the
3925.  Should I be concerned or does anyone have any experience with
this type of device as a gateway to Asterisk using SIP?

Quote included:

(1) Cisco 3925 w/ SPE100(3GE, 4EHWIC, 4DSP, 2SM, 256MBCF, 1GBDRAM, IPB)
(1) PVDM3-256 (256-channel high density voice and video DSP module)
(2) VWIC3-4MFT-T1/E1 (4-Port 3rd Gen Multiflex Trunk Voice/WAN
interface card - T1/E1)

They also said using using the AS5400XM with a DS3 I should be
concerned about more than 30 calls per second coming across the
system.  Has anyone has experience with that?

Thanks in advance, everyone has been very helpful so far.
