Kristian, <br><br>from your experience, supposed we go for net5501 + a 4 - 8 FXS card, what is the maximum simultaneous calls that this box can handle of course using g729 codec?<br><br>I used blackgin (IP08), alix2d3... and all of them were giving up on 6-7 simultaneous calls.<br>
To be honest, i didnt run AstLinux on alix i used voyage instead but anyhow... this seems to be the limit.<br><br><br>what i'm looking for it an appliance to run 2-16 FXS on it.... any suggestion?<br><br>T.<br><br><br>

Brian,<br>
<br>
I have been making efforts to fully support FreeSWITCH in AstLinux.<br>
Our primary targets are low powered x86 boards like the Soekris and<br>
Alix. x86, powerful enough, cheap enough (as low as $100), and about<br>
12 watts. Not bad.<br>
<br>
The Soekris net5501 and standard case will (I believe) take a full<br>
height card. Then again you could use any board and get an external<br>
SIP gateway (ATA). We don't currently support OpenZAP with FS in<br>
AstLinux but I'd love to add support for it eventually.<br>
<br>
I'm currently working with the FS devs on getting some issues in<br>
trunk resolved to get cross compiling working again. Until then you<br>
can find ISOs with FreeSWITCH and AstLInux here if you'd like to check<br>
it out:<br>

Let me know what you think.<br>
