Question : Asterisk: Run PBX as a VM ?

I would like to reduce the server number in my network and I was wondering if its possible to run an Asterisk/Trixbox server as a VM. My current server has a Digium analog card installed. Is it possible using perferrably VM workstation or even ESX server to have a VM work with that hardware device in its host?

Answer : Asterisk: Run PBX as a VM ?

My system uses a voip line so I don't have that problem.

As of 2006, vmware was not capable of abstracting things like PCI cards to virtual machines. It required more standardization on the part of PCI cards and the vmkernel needed a rewrite, so as of those days, vmware doesn't support FXO/FXS cards.

However, that was three years ago. Things could have changed since then, I'm honestly not sure.
