Just remember that CF cards have a limited life as far as read/write cycles are concerned. Transcend says that their CF can handle 1,000,000 program/erase cycles before failure. I think, in practical experience, that this is way high. My experience is between 50K and 200K.

Is that big enough? It really depends on what you want to do, are you thinking of storing voicemail on the CF? The above link is to install onto a 64mb CF card (can be used on bigger cards too if required) Andy _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
