Re: VoIP on iSeries

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I heard Michael Rousseaux (sp?) at LISUG, he hinted that there would
be separate models appropriately priced.  This was confirmed by many at
COMMON also.  The one thing about IBM is that they are very sharp on
pricing, not releasing pricing until the eleventh hour.

That is not to say that System i is inexpensive, but IBM eyes the entire
System i value proposition.

what is the price going to be? I attended the VoIP presentation at
NESTU and was unclear as to why you would run the 3Com software on
System i instead of a LAN attached xSeries. Will the 700 CPW needed
for the Linux partition be sold at xSeries prices? That would be,
what, $3000?  What would be great is if IBM did that and then you
could undo that Linux partition, move the VoIP software to the xSeries
and run i5/OS in the 700 CPW slot you bought at market price.
