Hi, Did anyone try to install Asterisk on the Mini-Box M300 with a Versa mini-ITX board 1GHz VIA x86 CPU? The box looks promissing, but I am not sure if Digium cards are compatible with the mother board (Versa mini-ITX) Also I am not sure if the 1GHz VIA processor can handle a Digium 24 port analog board, or an E1 digital board. If anyone had tried the Mini-Box, the processor, of the mother board, can he please give me a feedback about their use for Asterisk installations. Thank you and best regards, Antoine Megalla. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

I cannot guarantee that you'll have the same results with the Versa, but you should. I have used both a Digium TDM11b card as well as an OpenVox a1200p (12 port card). We run hylafax via iaxmodem and use the g729 codec. I get an occasional echo on my Polycom 600, but I'm several firmware revisions behind on the phone. The board seems to handle the load quite well. Additionally openvpn is actively used as this box also serves as the firewall. Darrick -- Darrick Hartman DJH Solutions, LLC http://www.djhsolutions.com
