[asterisk-users] [Asus Eee PC 900] as replacement for legacy BRI phone

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I own one of these netbooks Asus Eee PC 900, mine is running FreeBSD 7.0, and a
Linux based cellphone, the OpenMoko Freerunner.

Since some time I'm thinking in a replacement of my 'normal' BRI phone
at home and the two items mentioned above let me think that the
replacement should be UNIX based as well. The legacy BRI phone, around
ten years old, even has more or less the same size as the Eee PC 900 :-)

Well, what I want to do is install Asterisk in a new diskless Eee PC 900
which comes with a 20 GByte SSD, big enough for that purpose; more info
here:

as the phone I want to use the normal desktop (KDE 3.5.8) and some SIP client,
for example Ekiga, or even a more simple one. Don't know how to replace
the voice box the legacy BRI phone has; but this could be managed as
well by the provider services;

Is there any USB based BRI card which works with Asterisk in FreeBSD (or
if not at least in Linux)? 

Any other hints or comments about my approach? Thanks in advance
