Hello together,

I am setting up a communication server which should also act a
very-low-load PSTN gateway. I am usiing a AMD K6 200 running from a 500
MB usb memory stick. What is the ABSOLUTE minimum space requirements for
~ running asterisk to work as gateway between isdn and lan? 50MB or 1
GB?(I would compile, configure, etc. on a separate machine and then copy
everything to the flash device.)

Cheers,
Arik

I will say this to every single person who comes in here asking what the BARE 
MINIMUM is or HOW MUCH can Asterisk handle...

You do *not* know enough about the system to even attempt to build these kinds 
of systems!

In order to properly provision Asterisk, you need experience with it.  You 
need to know how it operates normally, and how it operates when it's 
struggling.  Build a "normal" Asterisk box first.  Play with it.  Get
to know
it.  THEN start optimizing.  

PLEASE -- will people stop trying to optimize their Asterisk system until they 
have Clue One about how it operates and what its requirements are?  I am 
asking that you do this for your own good; I want you to have a successful 
Asterisk install and blindly telling you is NOT going to help you achieve 
that in any way shape or form.

PLEASE -- UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, THEN OPTIMIZE.  NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Regards,
Andrew

You could start buy downloading my .iso (29mb bootable ) and use that as a
basisis for your
system. I've already modified it for a CF card based system. Essentially it
depends what sort
of interface to the pstn you want. E1/T1 and analog should work fine with my cd
- but I've not built
it for use with CAPI or the QuadBRI cards...

you can grab it at http://www.automated.it/asterisk/

It's not v1 of * but I am trying to find the time to update to a newer CVS
version, however I will only do that
once I'm happy running that particular version myself...

Ehm, KPJ, enlighten me please. Why does one need a traffic shaper on a sole 
purpose * box? To control the mailflow? ;^)
