I'm about to order one of these eBox systems: http://www.wdlsystems.com/modperl/view_services.cgi?r=detail&prod_num=1EBX33... They sell for under $200, have decent specs and some models come with a mini-PCI slot, which can be used to attach a POTS card. Regards, Raul On Sun, 2009-07-05 at 18:22 -0700, Fred-145 wrote:

Thanks Ed, but the problem with all those, is: - they typically have so little RAM/Flash RAM that they can't run a regular Linux distro, which means that we're stuck with whatever software is available with the customized distro for the appliance - they don't have room for a PCI card, which means that we have to have an external VoIP gateway to connect the appliance to the POTS - they're as expensive or more expensive than a regular PC
At this point, there doesn't seem to be any appliance that can run FreeSwitch and handle a POTS line in a compact, sub-$200 price-range.
