asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Small form factor system w/PCI slot

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to buy a small form-factor PC system for use with Asterisk  
and Hylafax in conjunction with a Eicon DIVA Server single-port ISDN  
card (needs full-size 5V PCI 2.2 slot, but PCI-X compatible). Use is  
very light - at most a single call at any one time. If the Mac Mini  
had a PCI slot I'd try to use that one, but oh well ;)

Would anyone have some brand names or sites where such systems can be  
found? I'm not really interested in building one from scratch, I'd  
rather buy a complete system and just stick the ISDN card in there.

Thanks :)

You mean PCI-E? If you really need PCI-X, then you're out of luck. PCI-X 
is only available on server boards. For a single port ISDN, one of those 
Mini-ITX boxes should work. I built something similar using a Mini-ITX 
(1GHz CPU) with an AVM Fritz! PCI ISDN card using chan_capi. IIRC, 
Xorcom has a TS-1 which is a SFF Asterisk server for <$500. BTW, I don't 
think the Mini-ITX mobos can support PCI-E.
