Several of us share that opinion. The net5501 in particular is so fussy with
the cf card, it's a problem.

With the cost of Atom systems coming down so much now, I am rethinking the
whole idea of even using Soekris boards.. although they are ROCK STABLE! in
the field.. at some point I know CompactFlash is going to be EOL'd making the
net5501 close to useless (the SATA on it is not real). the Net6501 is Nice but
Pricey.. I have installed several Atom Boards in a semi fanless environment
(no Chip fans, but one variable speed case fan).. I find variable speed fans
have a LONG LIFE in the field assuming the room the system is in is not 100
degrees or more.. even with one atom system "Cooked" in a 110 degree switch
room it didnt seem to flinch....
I can build a Jetway NF99FL-525 system with 4 gigs of RAM, 8 GB CF card, and a
2 slot case for just about the same or slightly more than a Net5501 board,
case, power...

If a small business can't afford the cost of a $200 ALIX system, I doubt they
have a need for a phone system. You'll be spending more in phones.
Bottom-line, I don't see us supporting ARM processor in the foreseeable future.
It is an interesting product though.

Depends on the business. I suspect many of these would make nice fanless
appliance servers for small groups that only need to handle a small number of
calls at the same time.
