I've been running a 50 for over 2 months now (uptime), with a TDM card, populated with 4 modules, and it's been rock solid. No crackles etc. Only thing the users have noticed is a background hiss, similar to tape noise on a cassette, but it's liveable.

Robert: I have a 4801-50, and top displays voip root # top Mem: 35368K used, 91388K free, 0K shrd, 1424K buff, 22180K cached Load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00 (State: S=sleeping R=running, W=waiting) ... voip root # uptime 06:02:22 up 29 days, 10:25, load average: 0.05, 0.01, 0.00 If you are concerned about memory leaks, I gave the uptime. Conclusion: the -50 has plenty of memory at 128K. Mark: I disagree with your statement that "there ain't none!" to the 4801 horsepower issue. If a person uses the 4801 with AstLinux with 100% VoIP, little or no CODEC transcoding, and a little better, no SIP to IAX2 transcoding, the Soekris 4801 will fill most small business's internet connection, with CPU to spare. Isn't that the point of an embedded system? Find a problem and solve it very efficiently. This lowers the cost, but more importantly increases stability and MTBF. If you are popping in cards that haven't been tweaked and tweaked, that is another story. I have no data, but the quality of the Soekris logic-board appears very good to me.
