asterisk users - Nov 2004 - Asterisk 1.0.2, Zaptel 1.0.2, Linux 2.6.9 on a PCEngines WRAP\Soekris net4801 in Compact Flash

Sounds cool, but I heard a rumor that CF Cards don't like too many rewrites
or
they start losing data.

Hello all,

	Here is what I have so far:

grub 0.94 (serial console)
linux 2.6.9 (compiled for the Geode SC1100, with many, many modules)
zaptel 1.0.2 (with ztdummy for 2.6)
unixODBC with myODBC
mysql
perl
ncurses
full terminfo database
OpenSSH
perl5 (with modules)
glibc
full locale support
full zoneinfo
asterisk 1.0.2 with res_config and res_config_odbc modules

This (and a lot more, I know that I am forgetting some stuff) fits in 
about 244mb right now.  I want to try to slim it down some more, but as 
a good 256mb CF card is under $40 right now that seemed like an okay 
size to be at.

I plan on releasing this as a HD image and all of the source and a doc 
on how I did it (it was simple).  It is basically a Gentoo stage3 x86 
install with the kernel configured, asterisk added and some stuff removed.

I have gotten it to boot and * runs, but I have done no performance 
testing or anything of the sort.  I plan on doing some tonight.  If 
anything right now it could be a sollution to my "branch office SIP 
phones -> IAX2 -> main office * (no transcoding)" idea.

I feel that this combined with a Soekris net4801 + 256mb flash + case + 
2.5" hd would make for a really cool Asterisk pbx for under $400 with 
semi-standard hardware.  Very DIY.

What should I do with this?  Is anybody interested in any of this?  Has 
anyone done anything like this, either with these boards or ITX, etc.?

Let me know, thanks!

I usually use pebble (http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/), which is a customised
Debian for CF usage (read-only installation), originally intended as WLan
accesspoint operatingsystem. That upgraded to Sarge, all odbc, mysql stuff, my
custom asterisk stable packages (http://www.marlow.dk/asterisk) usually ends up
around 210 MB, including a kernel with full wlan, bluetooth and pcmcia
capabilities, all zaptel modules (including zaphfc/qozap) etc. 

The whole thing is thought to be run on soekris, wrap or itx boards. Even a
notebook will do. The image can either be run from CF or just pxe booted, if
wanted.

Does the job quite well and is easy upgradeble, because it's still a more or
less default Debian.

Kind regards,
Martin List-Petersen
