Hi Folks, I have a potential AstLinux sale of 50 units to a local house builder and I was thinking about using one of these machines http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS6828123924.html Anyone tried one? I'm about to place an order for one. The website claims its $99 in one offs. I'm guessing with shipping and Customs etc it'll be more like $150. Still $150 better than a Soekris solution. Lower production costs = higher profit margins! Mark |

hi, 166Mhz, don't expect any transcoding. for a bit more, and still lower price than a soekris, have a look at : http://store.epatec.net/de/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=40 800Mhz processor and Dom. I use it and we can have more than 15 calls, some of them with transcoding (g729) They will give you a good pricing for quantities, I paid around 180€ each buying 5. We are reseller for these thin clients from epatec if you need a good pricing :) Just try to buy directly from them. regards, Olivier Mark Phillips a écrit : > Hi Folks, > > I have a potential AstLinux sale of 50 units to a local house builder > and I was thinking about using one of these machines > http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS6828123924.html > > Anyone tried one?

Mark, Don't you think 166MHz might be a little on the slow end? The net4801-50 is $230 (quantity 20, board, case, power supply) for a proven, time tested, faster solution. By the time you add a PoE switch and IP phones, the CPU box savings is in the noise. It is real cool a home builder is considering this; a AstLinux box, Netgear FS116P PoE switch, a few SPA-942 phones. Great system for a $1000-$1500 extra. Much nicer than the Panasonic solutions of the recent past.

Any particular router=20 recommended in this sort of home scenario? Thanks. =2D-=20 Mark Weisler |

Mark Weisler, In my situation, I use another net4801 box to run m0n0wall. QoS and much more. WAN, LAN and DMZ ports. Your suspicions are correct, QoS is very important in the home environment. There are less expensive solutions for a router/firewall. Linksys routers with alternative firmware has such QoS features. Some people have good luck with that... do your research. One solution, not to be overlooked, is configuring the net4801 AstLinux as a router with QoS traffic shaping in addition to asterisk. I don't use this, personally, but I have heard of others that do. This solution requires some extra technical experience. As you can tell, I really like the embedded box solution. The upfront cost is more, but in most of these situations reliability is top priority. I have an extra net4801 sitting on the bench, for testing and backup in the unlikely event one dies. At a moments notice this spare box can run m0n0wall, AstLinux asterisk or an AstLinux OpenVPN server. The net4801's coming-out-of-my-ears has worked well for me. The extra upfront cost can be though of as an insurance policy. This is one solution that has worked well for me.
