A BeagleBoard (http://beagleboard.org/) would make for a decent
FreeSWITCH appliance (tiny and only 2 watts).

The problem is what case options do you have for such a device?

That would work better.

Hello

Atcom's IP appliance is nice but it uses a BlackFish CPU, which is not
supported by FreeSwitch yet.

What FreeSwitch-appliance do you is the cheapest, most compact out
there? If
possible, I'd rather a device that has room for an SDD or 2.5" HD so
as to
be able to use a standard *nix distro.

Thank you.

If you look on there there's a clear acrylic case for the BeagleBoard
- I haven't seen any others available.

That's often the problem with appliances: Once the CPU/modo, RAM, SDD/HD,
PSU, case, and a PCI FXO board are computed, we end up with something as
expensive as a regular PC.

Is acrylic easy to work with, eg. using a Dremel? If it is, I could save
money on the case, and stick a PCI card beneath the mobo and have a
stand-alone, compact thingy while still using a standard Linux distro.

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.

I'm about to order one of these eBox systems:
http://www.wdlsystems.com/modperl/view_services.cgi?r=detail&prod_num=1EBX33J&aisle_id=1073

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
