[Asterisk-Users] Apple implementation

[Iain Stevenson]

I have been running asterisk on an old PowerMac 9600 and YellowDog Linux 
for about a year now.  Asterisk software builds fine most of the time - 
there seem to be some trivial issues with the Makefiles for codecs at the 
moment.

I have an X100P card as the PSTN interface.  I suspect that the interface 
cards are likely to be your biggest problem - drivers supporting big endian 
systems are needed.  I don't know whether all the Digium drivers do.  ISDN 
cards from AVM and Eicon are not suitable for PPC Linux.
