[A*UG] Asterisk as a media server performance?

[Michael Giambalvo]

Well, I play EVE online.  It's an MMO in which players can own
structures, and attack or defend these structures.

I'm in a corporation with about 50 people, but an alliance with
hundreds.  When an attack on a station begins, the faster you can get
as many people as possilbe to join in the fight, the better.

So I was thinking of getting an account with a DID provider (like
stanaphone) and building something to call everyone in the corp if
there's a real emergency.  It would just run a simple IVR, like an
announcement and then a "press 1 if you can make it" kind of thing.

So, it's not really a high capacity project.  But if it could call
like, 200+ people in a second or two, that'd be really cool.
