There is a network of telephone switch collectors, worldwide that uses
Asterisk to interface the network with their switches, as well as
members who have an interest in these old switches but don't yet have
one working.<br>
I have personally set up about 20 nodes with AstLinux on HP thin
clients, 55xx and 57xx, mainly in the US. At least one has a single
port T1card, the TE110, others use SIP phones and SIP ATA's, others use
Cisco 3810's with a SIP IOS. Several are running on old 55XX versions
with only 128 Meg of Ram They all simply work. One I monitor closely
has been up around 180 days now. Configure modules.conf to noload stuff
you don't need<br>
AstLinux has a nice web interface for ease of configuration.<br>
The older HP thin clients USED to be available on eBay at bargain
prices, though lately the MagicJack crowd seems to have run up the
price a bit<br>
As long as you don't want to do any thing fancy, AstLinux will do nicely<br>

<div>John,</div>
<div>AstLinux seems promising. Have you used this flavor in
production environment?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Paul,</div>
<div>So, don't use the Yum repositoy?!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And, are you sure that is the only thing needs to be done. I am
thinking there is more tweaking need to be done. I am not looking to
just install Asterisk but it should be production ready as well.
Meaning solid, reliable machine.</div>
