I picked up a cheap JS200-FX on ebay: http://x100p.com/products/js200fx.php for $30, and it works great for a home install. Very low power draw as well. James Cass <http://goog_987864563> jcas...@gmail.com <mailto:jcas...@gmail.com>
The JS-200 runs a very old ( 1.4 ) version of Asterisk I have set up more than 30 nodes using the HP thin clients, many using the available cheap T5720 units. Install the latest AstLinux in the flash, and follow the advice for a PSTN provider. I prefer voip.ms here in the US, and they also will deliver via IAX, which I prefer as SIP has so many hacking attempts I just don't want to deal with it. AstLinux in our private peer to peer network, along with many also having a PSTN connection, is easy to set up, easy to support remotely, and with a flash based system very reliable. also Astlinux has a built in facility for an in place upgrade. It also doesn't have the PITA configuration of a PIAF. Standard Asterisk conf files are used The HP 5720's also have a 120-240 volt power supply, so it should work almost worldwide Somewhat larger than a Pi, but in a decent case that could easily be mounted on a wall somewhere and connected to the LAN Other newer units with multiple NIC ports and AstLinux can also be your router /firewall Unless one is running a 100 seat call center, no need for one of those huge juice hogs anymore.
