Option 3 sounds good. That's what I am heading towards, currently developing a flashdisk / netboot image for same kind of task. I will boot the clients from network, yet they will be operating a default ramdisk image of a tiny specialized FreeBSD installation. Running softphones with terminal server clients has caused some problems.

In a call centre environment, an Asterisk telephony setup, which would<br>be better to use with a FreeBSD client? I'm hoping to use an eBox<br>3800 (<a href="http://www.compactpc.com.tw">http://www.compactpc.com.tw</a>
) with a Via Eden-N processor and<br>256M RAM as operator machines. The application is browser based and<br>we pretty much control the whole environment.<br><br>Questions:<br>1. Which softphone is best for this kind of setup?
<br>2. Should I run a terminal server client (like LTSP / does it have a<br>BSD equivalent?)<br>3. Wouldn't a minimal OS, with a browser and a softphone running on<br>the client OS be better than a terminal server client?
