One of the more common embedded platforms for Asterisk is the Soekris net5501 (or 4501 if you don't need as much processing power) The case would be the size of a larger router and has capacity for a single full height PCI device - such as a TDM400. Astlinux has an image for the 5501, so you can get away without a hard drive if you want to. (though Astlinux will happily use one as it's UnionFS partion) This will also give you a USB port. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Need to find small footprint asterisk platform
One of the more common embedded platforms for Asterisk is the Soekris net5501 (or 4501 if you don't need as much processing power) Agreed. Though, given the Asus eeeBox (1.6Ghz Atom) can be had for almost the same money (Soekris stuff isn't cheap in the UK) and is about the same footprint, it might be worth considering that instead if you don't need ISDN or POTS connectivity.

But I get the latter for free :-). A nice and small unit. Has a serial port console. Can run any standard Linux distribution (mine runs Debian Lenny on a 4GB SD card). Another option is a small box such a http://www.fit-pc.com/new/ (Fit-PC2. There are plenty of other similar boxes). It does have a (USB) keyboard output and a screen output. But not a screen. A nice little server box. There are plenty of systems based on Atom, Via or Geode CPUs. This area has become quite popular. But then again, there are CPUs beyond x86. Here's one example: The SheevaPlug also seems an interesting option. An SDK sells for 100$ (well, 99$, but who counts?).
