I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned Astfin. Basically uClinux and asterisk running on an Analog Devices Blackfin DSP. There's also some 'open source' hardware that's available - the IP04 and friends. I'm using an Edgepbx FX08, and they also have a two-port version (FX02). Atcom has a single-port one, the IP01.
Though if I were going to prototype an 'open' SIP phone, I'd probably start with a beagle board (TI OMAP3530 - dual-core ARM+DSP). It's a pretty powerful SOC - its brother (3430) powers the Palm Pre. Just another datapoint :) Paul Some related links, if anyone's curious: http://beagleboard.org/ http://www.astfin.org/ http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/ http://www.atcom.cn/En_products_IP01.htm http://www.edgepbx.com/ _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
