Thanks for input. Great info. Good to know all this about the router. I see
you use a 256MB CF card there. Do you use a USB key stick for storage?
Thanks,

No. Things that stick out of boxes in small offices get broken off. (ie.

The Alix board with pfSense can nicely do VPN and DHCP (no Asterisk).

Bruce,
AstLinux supports dhcp and dns as well as several vpn options including
openvpn.
You can download a live ISO image to test. http://www.astlinux.org

Thanks. I think I would still need a firewall. Maybe a 1u rack

would do better.
Anyhow, I don't want to open the box if I don't have to. Is there any way I

Hi Everyone,
Knowing that running Asterisk on an embedded board like the Alix2d3 requires
some fine tuning. Do you know of any good guides out there that does this
from beginning to end? Looking to run this in a small office environment.
Thanks

Check out the AstLinux site
There is a version there for the Alix boards, though I am not impressed
with Alix. IMO overpriced.

John,
AstLinux seems promising. Have you used this flavor in
production environment?
Paul,
So, don't use the Yum repositoy?!
And, are you sure that is the only thing needs to be done. I am thinking
there is more tweaking need to be done. I am not looking to just install
Asterisk but it should be

Usually not. If you don't want to get your hand dirty managing the OS
layer, try Askozia[1]. Most embedded solutions will use a modified
Busybox installation, allowing for lightweight binaries.
Yes, Astlinux and Askozia are the leading candidates for use on such
small platforms. I have used Astlinux on Soekris boards which are
similar. I wrote it up here:

That was some time ago but the basics of it are still sound.
Here's some further thoughts on small
There is a network of telephone switch collectors, worldwide that uses
Asterisk to interface the network with their switches, as well as
members who have an interest in these old switches but don't yet have
one working.
I have personally set up about 20 nodes with AstLinux on HP thin
clients,
