asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Searchable Mailing Lists & NooB Question

Quick question.

New to the project, and generally I like to sniff through the mailing
list archives.  Are there no searchable archives?  I've only found the
monthly archive files for download.  Normally I would have searched
the for the answer to the following question:

I'm getting ready to set up a * server at home.  No digium equipment. 
Using FWD and maybe Vonage in the not too distant future.  After that,
I will consider adding one FXO and FXS port (maybe the digium dev
kit).  I'm planning this on a Celleron 400mhz.  Should I even attempt
this?  The box will also be running a web server and a chat server
(Jabber).

Any thing I should watch out for?  Any surprises I could run into?  I
have a DSL line that is 32 kBs up.

Sorry if this has been covered ad-naseum before on the list.

Geoff

Let me know if you want one.

Hi Geoff,

with 32Kbps upstream you can run into troubles while trying to transmit
voice to vonage or other operator due to bandwidth.

google google google, learn to use google. Learn to look at the advanced
search options. Notice that you can set the results to only come from a
site.

Also, maybe you should notice that the last link of every page sends you
to the appropriate mailman page for the mailing list. On that page is a
link to the archives. On that page, you can select to view any month by
thread, subject, Author, or date. Pretty simple.

You are joking right? You think you are going to do any voice over a
link that is half of the bandwidth of a phone call and you think you
will have a webserver and jabber server on it. 

Even using GSM codec, you will probably only get 1 call to work when
nothing else is working. Last I checked FWD only accepted G729 and ulaw.
You will never get ulaw across that link and you will have to purchase a
G729 license.
