We are in the process to develop a WiFi phone, bye Ronald Everyone, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a distribution that includes Asterisk. Asterisk is an application. [EMAIL PROTECTED] cannot be compared to Asterisk, they are not the same thing. With that being said, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is basically CentOS that installs Asterisk by default, Myself and others have pointed this out several times on this list. Secondly, you would NEVER want to run [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a Soekris or any embedded device. It's WAY too huge, plus running it from flash would be a bad idea. Third, the Soekris Net4801 will probably not be able to handle the TDM422. Echo cancellation and transcoding will probably bring it to it's knees. As far as IPv6, Asterisk cannot do IPv6 anyways (I know there were some patches at one time, but I don't think they are current). Use a Mini-PCI wireless card instead. Overall, it looks like you are trying to cram WAY TOO MUCH functionality into one box, especially something like the Soekris Net4801! -- Kristian Kielhofner ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Is soekris good?
I am trying to find out what is the best board for us. I want to build an asterisk based PBX with one digium TDM422 card. A USB wireless adapter should make the entire system with: * Asterisk at home (Is @home or regular better?) I have no experiences with @home. I use a debian. Debian sarge includes asterisk 1.0.7. Debian unstable includes 1.0.9. * Shorwall firewall * QoS I don't know shorwall. I use iptables with stateful inspection and HFSC shaping as described in the wiki pages. * Hotspot for wireless phones * web server for Asterisk (billing, settings) - maybe thttpd since it also can IPv6 * IPv6 in the second step (I think @home cannot IPv6) * astcc * h.323 module * wakeup * festival (Maybe the CPU / RAM is too low for that) * MOH * voice mail * ??? What do you think about it? Is the 4801 right for that? I'm afraid CPU and RAM is to low for all that things (some test result will follow in the next days) The TDM422 could be to large for the case provided by soekris, so you have to use your own case. Some questions about Soekris: What is in the package? (Power adapter?, CF?, manual? ...) In the package is only the board (in the case if orderd with case). You have to order power adapter too. The manual you can found on the web page. CF is not included. How to install it? http://www.soekris.com/support.htm I used Running Debian Linux, by Mike Machado After the initial installation, I updated to standard debian via Internet. What is the CF size you are using? and how much is still free? What have you installed? First I used a 256MB CF card. It is enought for the installation described in my last mail. Round about 60MB was still free. But now I added hylafax. That need a lot of space, because it needs ghostscript to convert and ghostscript wanted some x-libraries. :-( So I have replaced the 256MB CF with a 2GB micro drive (only ~350MB used at the moment) . This has some more advantages. I think smart drive have more read/write-cycles. Thats better for voicemail and fax. bye Jens ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Shorewall is just a set of scripts to help you setup IPtables for Netfilter. Once Shorewall has done its configuring, it does not do anything more, so how could it cause latency? By a 'real firewall' you mean a hardware firewall? What better hardware firewall than a Linux box? I'm interested because I send all my VOIP traffic through a Linux firewall using Shorewall to configure Netfilter, and wouldn't want to be causing latency with it.
