[VoIP] Switcher in training

[Frank Hansche]

Good afternoon, all.
 
I am in the beginning stages of building an Asterisk switch, then ultimately an legacy switch.  
 
I have an extensive background in electronics and computers, and I have worked in microwave radio as well as operating a medium sized System 75.  I've read the documentation on Asterisk and, combined with my System 75 knowledge, I feel pretty confident about putting up an Asterisk PBX/tandem.  When I start to put my legacy switch together, I will most likely reach out to the group for some help.
 
One question I do have is about crossbar switches.  Is there equipment available to build a small switch?  I live in a typical Northwest tract home, and floor load is an issue.  I don't know if my floor will hold a larger switch.  Any information will be most helpful.
 
Oh yeah, I was also in broadcasting as a DJ and broadcast engineer.  East Hill Radio is my other spot of electronic and computer insanity!
