<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hello, <br>
<br>
I'm trying to put together a low cost - low powers PBX appliance for several
customers. I have purchased a couple of the soekris net4801 boards and have
asterisk up and running on them fine but they just don't quite cut it in the
processing power department. I've been able to get about 10 simultaneous SIP
calls with simple ulaw (no encoding decoding). While this might be OK for a
very small business or home I just don't think it leaves a lot of overhead to
do anything else. <br>
<br>
I've had a look around and I think I have settled on one of the VIA EPIA
fanless boards. Does anyone have any experience with these running asterisk as
far as performance and reliability is concerned? Has anyone run asterisk with
any compressed codecs on this setup? <br>
<br>
I am going to TRY to run the system from flash memory one way or another - I
realize the hoops I might have to jump through to prevent a large number of
read/write cycles but I'd really like to have the whole thing solid state...
Maybe someone has a better idea regarding program storage? <br>
<br>
Also, I would really like to run this as a router/firewall appliance as well so
that that the box can sit on a public IP if the client only has one. For this
reason I kind of have my heart set on openbsd. The routing and firewall utilities
on openbsd are very simple to configure and easy to use. Does anyone know what
limitations asterisk might have on openbsd (besides lack of zaptel.. ) ? I have
run asterisk 1.2.? on openbsd before and found it worked pretty well. <br>
<br>
Failing that I suppose I would settle for running the routing/firewalling on
linux. I've just found the linux networking tools very awkward up until now -
perhaps someone know of a linux distribution - or tool - that makes
routing/firewall/NAT as painless as on openbsd? Maybe I just need to sit down
for a day and learn the tool properly ;) <br>
<br>
Anyways, <br>
<br>
I know there are a lot of questions in here but perhaps someone has done
one or all of these things? <br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice or warnings!<br>
<br>
<br>
