Ive seen those boards before..  im a little apprehensive when it says it is
a 486SX processor which would indicate no math coprocessor..  not sure how
it would handle transcoding and the like.  

 

I like the ALIX and soekris boards..

 

As far as speed ive run astlinux on the older soekris net4801, and was only
able to get about 5 simultaneous calls at a time esp if any call was on the
voicemail system or hearing Music on hold..  I did a little better if it was
just straight up calls.

 

On my net5501 im able to easily pull off 20 calls at a time.

 

I don't do any transcoding and no voice compression.

 

My net5501's are installed as legacy PBX replacements, where I have SIP to a
T1 gateway and then TDM T1 to the PSTN..

 

The alix 6E2 board gives me very good performance also..  the only reason I
tend to use more soekris than alix is the fact the net5501 has 512 MB of RAM
to the alix 256 MB of RAM... I want to try and stay out of the Swap space as
much as possible.. as that's a real performance killer.   I also like to run
a RAMdisk and have my static voice files there during runtime.

Subject: [Astlinux-users] Another hardware inquiry

 

I am running on an Alix board now, but investigating other options for a
future install.  These caught my eye:

http://netx86.com/index.php?main_page=index
<http://netx86.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66> &cPath=66

 

Any feed back from the group on these boards?  Do you think the 300Mhz would
be okay, or would I regret not going with the 1GHz?  This is for a home
office type application with 3 extensions, IP only.  Am I missing something
that would make these not happy to run Astlinux?

 

If no feedback on these I will probably go with another Alix.  

 

Regards,

Michael
