I have a Linksys NSLU2 (Slug) at home running Asterisk (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.nslu2-linux.org/">http://www.nslu2-linux.org/</a> )<br>
<br>
It's small, relatively cheap and runs Asterisk very well. You could
slip it into a pocket.<br>
<br>
I haven't tried yet but I have done a little reading and hope to
connect the Slug to a mobile network when I get the time to play.<br>
<br>
I know you said no bluetooth, Ed but if you're in North America and
your cellular network is CDMA, AFAIK option 1 is
the only one possible. These carriers generally won't
allow devices on their networks unless they are purchased from the
carrier.<br>
<br>
If your cellular network is GSM then there are two approaches to try,<br>
<br>
1. Slug, 4GB USB stick, USB Bluetooth dongle, dedicated bluetooth
mobile phone + Asterisk 1.4 with a chan_mobile. Unfortunately, I doubt
that chan_mobile is packaged for the slug (it's in 1.4 trunk) and you
would have to build it. Cost ~$150 + phone + your time<br>
<br>
2. Slug, 4GB USB stick + SIP-GSM gateway. Much easier to configure but
it's a second box so less portable and more expensive than a BT dongle
and an old phone. Probably more robust. Cost $250-$400<br>
<br>
You could also substitute a Linksys WRT54GL ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openwrt.org/">http://openwrt.org/</a> ) for
the Slug which would give you ethernet ports and wireless too.<br>
<br>
Hope this gives you some ideas<br>
<br>
