Hi guys I know this has been asked on the list before, but my hard drive crashed and I lost all of the past posts, I need to know what motherboard works ok for asterisk, I have no problems with the Dual and Quad Xeon processor boards I have used. Now I plan on building a Pentium 4 3.0 with hyper-threading. I looked through the wiki and could not find the recommended P4 board. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20041023/29775c55/attachment.htm
Look for support by whatever operating system you plan on running.

Thanks. >>Hey, This is probably a good time to ask if there is any planned support for a g729 binary for YDL and G3/G4, etc. I would love to start playing with apple hardware, YDL, and asterisk. But I need that binary! -- Kristian Kielhofner

What I'm trying to establish, is whether the problem lies in the hardware (ie: the physical card does not get on with the motherboard), or whether its driver related (ie: the wxfxo driver does not get on with the system drivers for the Via chipset). The reason I'm asking, is that I'd like to upgrade to a TDM400 card with 1 x FXO and 1 x FXS modules. Obviously if the problem is hardware related, then the TDM should be fine, but if software related, I really don't want (and can't afford) to buy a TDM400 + modules only to find out it has the same problem! Does anyone have a TDM400 in an AMD system with a Via chipset, preferably the one as listed below, that could offer any guidance. The motherboard is an MSI KM2M Combo-L SKT A KM266 with a Duron 1800.

I am not by any means recommending this to anyone but I wanted to publish this for reference. I have an Asterisk system connected to a provider via IAX trunks. There are 32 phones on our network and we have about 400 calls per day to/from our system. The hardware running this is a Pentium Pro 400mhz with 256MB ram and a 9GB scsi hard drive. Everything is working great even on such meager hardware. Our other systems are Dual Xeon servers with 1 or 2GB of ram each handling our PRI's and customer systems. -Jonathan
