[Asterisk-Users] dialup internet via Asterisk

2005-04-21 Thread Michael 'Moose' Dinn
I have a customer with 2/3rds of a PRI turned up for his PM3, which handles incoming calls for dialup customers. He's offered me the remainder of the PRI at cost, assuming he can still get calls through to his PM3. I know it's fairly easy to have incoming calls (with his DID) routed to his PM3

Which linux is prefereable ? for asterisk ? As long as you know how to rebuild your kernel, how to install modules, and how to manage basic unix security, the best Linux for Asterisk is the one you're most comfortable with. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing

LVS is a single point of failure, but probably so is your router/switch. Consider the case where the LVS *is* the router, use good quality components for the PC (we should all know about this part on this list), We've used the via-based eden motherboards for this sort of thing - rock solid,

If you need a rocksolid solution have a look at astlinux that can boot * from a compact flash card in read only mode which makes it very hard to break :) You should be able to boot Asterisk using slackware as a base from a 64M CF card or even from a 64M bootable USB memory key. If you use

And, in fact, some drives *do* have problems with sudden outages. Some Relative to the cost of a cheap UPS, downtime is much much much more expensive. You can power pretty much any single server you want for ~$150 CDN, and shut it down cleanly when the power goes out. Compare $150 with the

You should be able to boot a full system from a 32M card without a problem. I've read J.R. Richardson's paper Create an Embedded Asterisk Server which outlines making a Debian server that boots from a compressed disc image on a CF card. I'm really interested in this as I want my * server to
