[asterisk-users] Asterisk server: Console or GUI OS ? Init level 3 or init level 5 ?
I'm about to start building my asterisk server and I can't seem to find anything that discusses the pros and cons of installing the OS (Fedora 15) as console only or GUI, ie install KDE as well. So, other than a bit of disk space, is there any reason why I shouldn't install KDE when I set it up ? Is there any great disadvantage to running the server in init level 5 (ie KDE, xorg, etc) running in the background, but not being logged in, versus init level 3 ? (Or whatever they call these things these days..., ie F15 uses systemd...) FWIW, my server hardware will sit on a server rack in the utility room. I might drag a display and keyboard down there once in a while to troubleshoot and/or do maintenance, but mostly I'd ssh in and probably use a remote desktop app to work on it. FWIW, I'm OK doing things via the CLI, but sometimes its really nice to have graphical tools. I look forward to your input.

Thanks for the reply. I was worried the list would find it a trite and irritating question. I was expecting someone to tell me that even with the GUI component running in the background, the graphical processes have the potential to mess up the streams. I guess I should confess that I'm always a bit surprised to remember that asterisk doesn't require a real time OS ! Have you really exposed much more if you install the GUI components and normally run at init 3 ?

[asterisk-users] USB or Ethernet based FXO device ?
I'm looking for an FXO device to connect to a POTS line that communicates via USB or Ethernet. Is there such a device ?

Re: [asterisk-users] Looking for ideas for nice **Asterisk** home phone system
Great discussion, all of it. Thanks, people. How much power does the home asterisk box need ? I'm using Asus Eee Box (1012Ps) as Myth front ends in another project. About $280 with 320 Gb hard drive and 2 GB RAM. Atom 510 processor. Built in Wifi. Nearly silent. Runs F15 nicely. Would one of them suffice ? FWIW, I'm typing this email on one now because my main system is down. It looks like I am going to need an ATA for the fax machines. Two. My wife informed me yesterday she wants her own in her office. VOIP handles fax machines, right ? I'm wondering what phones everyone is using. Should I stick with analog wireless handsets or are there some good SIP wireless phones out there that I don't know about ???

[asterisk-users] Good, inexpensive wireless VOIP handsets ?
I'm looking for 4 to 6 good, inexpensive VOIP handsets for my home asterisk system. Any ideas ? Thanks ! LG -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Looking for ideas for nice **Asterisk** home phone system
I was thinking of using a PAP2T-NA for the ATA to handle the fax. It appears to have a large number of fax specific settings. Can anyone comment on using this device with a fax ? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Good, inexpensive wireless VOIP handsets ?
In our house, we need wireless. I have a Grandstream already. I am looking for something with a form factor more conventional than a cellphone. Maybe that is silly ? I see various unlocked large screen Android devices for ~$150. I was hoping to spend on the order of $50 per handset. I don't understand why (other than economies of scale) that I can buy various wireless POTS wireless systems (base and multiple handsets) for $100 and yet a single VOIP wireless handset is $150. Any comments on integrating a wireless POTS system into an asterisk system ? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Do any of the DECT systems handle multiple incoming phone lines ? How do the DECT systems integrate with the voice mail services on an Asterisk system ? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Good, inexpensive wireless VOIP handsets ?
I like the idea of running multiple ATAs with a single base or handset on each line. Something like the Panasonic KX-TG4111B which sells for about $40 for a handset and base. PAP2s sell for about $50 or $25 per line. Total cost of $65 per handset. Comments on this approach ? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
