I don't believe that netgear switch can do vlans. A suitable switch will cost as much as the Atom box, unless you find one used.

The atom-based machine I have is an MSI mini-itx bare-bones from newegg. D330 cpu. We added 2 GB ram and a Hitachi 160 GB HDD, installe debian and asterisk from the debian packages. It's been running flawlessly since last July behind a linksys router. total cost was ~$200 CDN to put the mini-itx together. It has only one mini-PCI slot which I am going to be installing a wifi card (the case has the antenna/leads already there). The Atom D330 is a dual-core 1.6 GHz cpu. If you are looking at atom-based machines, take a look at the new offerings from intel in the atom series. A couple of new ones have been released and more are in the pipe for later this year. Reza's suggestion for a usb adapter might work to add a second interface... but if I can figure out vlan's I'd prefer to keep just the one rj45 interface. Chad and Matthew suggested the vlan approach. I have a Netgear FS108P switch available, it is a "smart" switch, not a "managed" switch, but so far in my limited reading it appears that it should be useable to do this. If anyone can recommend a primer on vlans, that would be most helpful. thanks, --terry On Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 06:07:06PM -0500, Reza - Asterisk Consultant wrote: > Most *Atom* based machines are those EEE note/net-book type laptops.
