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.
I though that I had read somewhere about someone using the Marvel ShevaPlug and a 2 line USB POTS adapter. That should be under $200. David
