Hi there,

I didn't find it too much trouble in a Via C700N system. But I wouldn't 
use one of the mainstream distros for the OS. They chew up system 
resources just trying to accommodate "any" hardware.

The solution is to roll-your-own. See this series of articles on my 
blog... http://www.theopensourcerer.com/tag/asterisk/

Cheers

Al
