Yeah, it can be a bit daunting. The choice between libss7 or chan_ss7, is still a matter of debate. We had pretty good luck with chan_ss7. Using a custom made server with quad core Xeon processor and 4 GB of RAM, we put 8 x E1 into one machine. Best of all, chan_ss7 supported sharing of 1 signalling link over multiple boxes. The order would be as follows: 1. Dahdi-kernel & Dahdi-tools (I used the combined download) 2. Asterisk 1.6.x 3. chan_ss7 1.3 or 1.4 (and copy the chan_ss7 over to the modules folder) Sangoma does claim to have gone as high as 32 E1s in one box.
