Has anyone on the list used a Soekris engineering PC as a TDM - Ethernet bridge? For example something like a net4801 with a TE110p in it and then using TDMoE to get it into a bigger server where the call processing proper will occur. Anyone know if it might handle a quadspan card ok? (no transcoding, just pure PRI to TDMoE bridging). Craig
The quadspan card isn't a low profile card is it? I don't think it'll even physically fit in the net4801's footprint.

Also, for four spans the interrupt load alone could probably saturate the CPU. If you want to try, AstLinux will be an excellent start... http://www.astlinux.org P.S. - I created AstLinux, so of course I would recommend it! -- Kristian Kielhofner
You should look at the Redfone fonebridge product. I believe their product does what you are wanting to do; http://www.red-fone.com/fonebridge.html On Tue, 2005-10-11 at 00:38, Craig Guy wrote:> Has anyone on the list used a Soekris engineering PC as a TDM - Ethernet > bridge?

Cool, now if only it was available in E-1, and certified for use in Australia. Actually this is pretty much what I was thinking of building myself :) Now I know it can be done. Yippee!

You need about 30MHz per channel. That means the Soekris can only handle part of a T1, it will never handle a quad span.
