[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on Soekris

[Dustin Wildes]

Maybe my point was missed.
Hardware wise - a VIA MII EDEN based board will greatly outperform a 
Soekris system, which is why my embedded platform is based on the VIA 
hardware instead of the Soekris, because I AND my customers did want an 
all-in-one system, and small offices tend to want an all-in-one piece of 
equipment.
