Just an other alternative,
Supermicro makes a 1U Atom based server with dual GBit Lan ports part #
SYS-5015A-H, bare bones for about US$270
Cybertron sells it pre configured for US$380 direct, or CA$500 from
TigerDirect.ca

I don't believe that netgear switch can do vlans. A suitable switch will
cost as much as the Atom box, unless you find one used.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the feedback on this question!
The atom-based machine I have is an MSI mini-itx bare-bones from newegg.
D330 cpu. We added 2 GB ram and a Hitachi 160 GB HDD, installe debian and
asterisk from the debian packages. It's been running flawlessly since last
July behind a linksys router. total cost was ~$200 CDN to put the mini-itx
together. It has only one mini-PCI slot which I am going to be installing a
wifi card (the case has the antenna/leads already there).
The Atom D330 is a dual-core 1.6 GHz cpu. If you are looking at
atom-based machines, take a look at the new offerings from intel in the atom
series. A couple of new ones have been released and more are in the pipe for
later this year.
Reza's suggestion for a usb adapter might work to add a second
interface... but if I can figure out vlan's I'd prefer to keep just the one
rj45 interface.
Chad and Matthew suggested the vlan approach. I have a Netgear FS108P
switch available, it is a "smart" switch, not a "managed" switch, but so far
in my limited reading it appears that it should be useable to do this.
If anyone can recommend a primer on vlans, that would be most helpful.
thanks,

Most *Atom* based machines are those EEE note/net-book type laptops. So
in
Terry's case this may be a challenge.
However a USB Network adapter such as (
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250587764069) may quite
possibly be compatible with an Atom Netbook& Linux, however I've never
experimented with a USB based Network Adapter - so can only say that in
theory it should work.
Cheers!
Reza.

Put two network cards in the PBX. One for outside the firewall, one for
the
internal network.
The PBX will need to run a firewall on the WAN side.

Hi all,
I have a small atom-based machine running asterisk sitting behind a
router/firewall (openwrt on a linksys wrt54gl). I would like to put
that
machine outside the firewall to avoid NAT, etc. Not sure if this will
work,
so please anyone with experience in a setup like this, or who knows
that it
will/wo't work drop me a line.
Proposed configuration:
DSL-modem<==> netgear switch<==> atom-based machine running
debian/asterisk
The atom-based machine has only one rj45 interface and no expansion
slots.
I can run pppoe and get the connection through the switch/DSL-modem
fine. (public IP).
I can run DHCPD on that interface (with a statically assigned IP on
it)
when ppp is not running and serve IP's to other devices connected to
the
switch/ talk to them.
I want to combine these two so that the same eth0 interface will
have
both a PPPOE connection with public IP and the second local IP assigned
statically talking to the local devices through the switch.
Can this be done with a single interface?
I can assign the second local-IP to the interface ok, but so far can
only get the atom-based machine to talk to external hosts when ppp is
active, not seeing the local devices. Is this just arouting problem? or
is
there something more fundamental that makes this
impossible/impractical?
If this can be done, I want to set up a DHCP server on the same
interface serving locall-IP's to the other switch-connected devices so
that
they can talk to the atom-based machine
Is this do-able?
If so, then could one also do NAT/IP-forwarding/iptables on the
atom-based machine to provide internet access to these switch-connected
devices? All through the one rj45 interface?
Thanks in advance for any pointers to documentation on how to do
this
or showing that this cannot be done!
Apologies if this is too off-topic for an asterisk list. the goal is
for some of the switch-connected devices to be SIP clients...
Thanks,
