Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hardware Vendors for Asterisk other than "DIGIUM"

Hello

That's  true and I agree with this but I haven't found a multiport (say
4 port) FXO card from Digium.

Regards,

Daniel

So far, the Digium cards are the only ones that seem to work well.
It would be nice if the VoiceTronix cards were supported, as they seem to
be supported on platforms other than Win/Linux.

There is only one other good choice of open source hardware and that is
Voicetronix cards. At $895 for 6 ports, it is way more expensive than
Digium equipment. They are considerably more expensive though and do not
contribute to the stability of Digium.

If you go for one of the other proprietary providers like Dialogic, you
will have to pay a licensing fee for the asterisk code to deal with the
non GPLed nature of the drivers you will need. You also may be blocking
yourself from legally using certain third part patches that may be
developed since you will no longer be using a fully GPLed version of
asterisk. Take note how Cisco had to release all their firewall code for
a linksys router because it was built up on an embedded linux software
platform. 

If you are wanting to develop on asterisk or for asterisk, then you
should consider the digium hardware.

Hi,

Buy the hardware from Digium to help support the software development
side. :)

Via Eden 533MHz processor, no fans whatsoever.  Runs like a PII 400MHz.
They have cases that have 2 PCI slots.  That's the biggest limitation:
lack of PCI slots.

We use these to sell Linux-based firewall computers for clients.  They have
run for well over a year with exactly zero crashes.  With no moving parts
(not even hard drives:  we use DOM for the firewalls), there isn't a lot to
go wrong.

Having said all of that, I don't think they'll make good Asterisk boxes.  2
PCI slots isn't much and 400MHz PII-type performance isn't great (though
you can get 750MHz or so of PIII performance from the new 1GHz CPU's if you
don't mind a CPU fan).  But if you can live with that, they're very nice.

Don't forget to target the i586 architecture.  The VIA CPU's don't have an
instruction (CMOV? CMPXCHNG? something like that) that the Intels do and
that CGG uses with an i686 target.  Unfortunately, the VIA gets detected as
an i686...

I live in California, and saw one of those "cube" PC's in Frye's for a few
hundred dollars (<$400??).   Really tiny, everything contained inside.  Had
one PCI slot.  I thought it would be nice for demos since it was so easily
shipped.  I think the processor was 800 MHz or so.  Would have preferred 2
PCI slots...

I'm in the UK now - when I'm back next week I'll try and find the
manufacturer.

Hi All!
 
Can anyone direct me to any websites / manufacturers out there who are
making small, put-it-in-the-closet-and-forget-it type systems for building
routers, home gateway servers, that sort of thing?
 
My fantasy machine for this purpose would be along the lines of a mini-itx
system with external power supply, dual Ethernet interfaces on board, and
one PCI slot available.  If it had one real serial port on it, that would be
great too.  Am I dreaming, or does it exist for a reasonable price?  I would
be willing to go the 500 MHz - 1 GHz range.  Something without a fan would
be really nice.  I'm basically looking for a system that someone out there
is stamping out in quantities and isn't too outrageous in price.  Does it
exist, and if so who sells it?
 
It seems to me a system like the above described would be perfect for
building out a home gateway / home asterisk server.

Just because a company makes a lot doesn't mean the price drops. The
type of device you are asking for is built by cisco, but the cost isn't
near what you asked for. 

Asterisk can fill that role for the most part, but it expects you to do
some work to get it there.
