I've seen the embedded posts. Is anyone running Asterisk on the MINI ITX? James Taylor MetroTel 3505 Summerhill Road Suite 11 Texarkana, Tx 75503 903-793-1956

Soekris is also selling units with the sangoma card as a daughterboard, might be a cheaper/quiter alternative to Mini ITX if you don't have to transcode.

Why everyone uses Epia only in mini-itx I still don't get since horsepower is pretty low for Epia once trans-coding starts... I would think that Mini-ITX Pentium M is the way to go... http://www.ibase-i.com.tw/mb890.htm Throw that in a mini-itx case and you get low power, low wattage high horsepower to boot... Has anyone spent any time using Pentium M and *? That would seem a more logical path for black box solutions... Thoughts?

I have a 3 GHz Mini ITX with 1 GB ram, I don't think it would be much of a feat to run Asterisk on it. In fact, that;'s my demo system, small, light, looks great and very fast. The only downside is the single pci slot, with a T1 card in there there no room for an additinal NIC. jltaylor wrote:>I've seen the embedded posts. >Is anyone running Asterisk on the MINI ITX? > >James Taylor >MetroTel >3505 Summerhill Road >Suite 11 >Texarkana, Tx 75503 >903-793-1956 > >_______________________________________________ >Asterisk-Users mailing list >Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com >http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > > >-- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463 Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759 Cell: 264-235-5670 Yahoo IM: netconcepts_anguilla@yahoo.com
I have used it. The biggest difficulty of the footprint is that the chip doesn't do IO-APIC-edge interrupt handling in linux so you end up having a real difficult time if you try to add additional devices (eg - zaptel cards, more nic cards, etc) and don't want to end up sharing interrupts with all of the on board stuff they've usually got jammed onto the boards already.

Epia is sweet in that regards but Pentium M is 27 watts full blast and as low as 5 watts as parts of the core shutdown. You get horsepower as well as low heat.

Personally I would shoot for the Transmeta ITX developer board and just pour clear acrylic over it to make a case. If every call that goes in and out of your Asterisk box is on the same codec and your voicemail is also recorded on that same codec than Asterisk just switches the calls like a Pentium 100 linux router switches packets.
