<DIV>I had asterisk running on SuSe 7.3 on an Ultra 2 back in May 2003. Had to
make some changes to Makefiles. At that time, SuSe had no more updates planned
for Linux on Sparc. I had MGCP and SIP running very well on it. Had some
trouble with H323. Timing was another issue as the Ultra 2 is an SBus machine
and not PCI. Basic IP Call switching works. MeetMe may not work. Machine was
very reliable. Had almost no down time for the 6 months or so that I used it at
home. I have been using Sparc servers for many years now and am very impressed
by their reliability and performance. I think even Sonus Softswitch runs on a
Sun Netra.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had documented the Makefile modification in an email to the list. If you
search for Sparc in the mailing list, you should be able to find it. If not,
drop me a line and I'll see if I still have it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck.</DIV>

Hi,<BR>> <BR>> I'm just considering buying two Telecoms grade Sun Netra's
to run a <BR>> lab-based VoIP solution. Not my immediate thoughts as a VoIP
platform, <BR>> but from what I've heard, they can run Linux, and run it
well.<BR>> <BR>> Only thing is:<BR>> <BR>> The Wiki and the
Whitepaper just state that Asterisk is for the x86 <BR>> architecture, but
has been compiled to run on PPC architectures. No <BR>> mention of
UltraSparc. If I can get it compiled, what would I be <BR>> loosing in terms
of functions or what problems might I face?<BR>> <BR>> Would other 3rd
party code (add ons and bolts on) work too, are these <BR>> tied to
platforms, or just to Asterisk itself?<BR>> <BR>> I've not got long to
decide about the machines - so any feedback would <BR>> be most welcome!! And
directly too if possible!!!<BR>> <BR>> Finally, will ISDN4Linux run on an
UltraSparc version of Linux? My <BR>> intention is to stick a dual ISDN BRI
card into each (2x ISDN lines on <BR>> each card, or 4x "B-Channels" in
total).<BR>> <BR>> I've had trouble trying to find decent
second-hand/refurbished or new <BR>> rackable servers within the research
budget that can even be considered <BR>> usable! These are the first machines
that have a high spec, and are <BR>> designed for the Telecom's
industry.<BR>> <BR>> Best,<BR>> Ad.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
