Hi, I'd like to install Asterisk at home. But don't want to use a full blown PC to host it. I was thinking of using fitPC www.fit-pc.com to do all the Asterisk work, interfacing with the local Bell Canada line, and using a SIP VoIP line as well. What do you experts think of it? Thanks, Mark. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20080812/492a20c3/attachment.htm
I can't see why not. You should easily have enough power for asterisk. You can probably also run it as your firewall in a home environment thanks to the dual RJ45's I don't know whether or not you can use the built in RJ11 to interface with your POTS line though - maybe someone else could speak to this?> Hi, > > > > I?d like to install Asterisk at home.

Depending upon your needs you may find it cheaper to run it on a thin client device. I find HP T5700 series for around $100-150 on Ebay. These genrally have 1 GHz processors and 256 MB RAM. Not dual NICs, but you could add that if necessary. There's an expension chasis for $30 from HP that allows for one PCI card.
