I currently have a couple of inbound VoIP numbers from Voxbone
terminating on a voip phone on my desk. It works fine, but if I'm not
here, there's no voicemail, there's no way to divert the calls to my
cell phone, etc. So I figure I can run Asterisk on an old PC and do
all that.

For a low end application like this, never more than one or two calls
active at once, how much of a PC do I need? I have an old 200 MHz
Pentium which I've been using as a BSD router. Will that be adequate,
or do I need something faster?

R's,
John

Hi,

I recommend that You use something with more power.
Some P II or P III (or some old Duron) will be more than enough (128 or 256
MB RAM, CPU 533 MHz or more)
Basically, it depends on lot of things like codecs You're using, do You
have transcoding, IVR, voicemail system, GUI,databases, termination cards,
....
