Re: [Equipment] Large home with cable, 2 lines, 6 computers, and
See the discussion below about turning a very low power consumption system that only costs $200 into a full-blown Asterisk system. You can buy these boxes at Walmart.
I'm running a home based Asterisk system using the same motherboard (I built my own system rather than buy the full $200 version). I use an 80% efficient Antec Earthwatts power supply. Very small startup cost and operating cost.

About three years ago, I bought a bare-bone e-machine from a local Fry's Electronics for $99 and had been stressing it out to run a Debian Linux with 256MB for two years. Recently, a friend gave me a 512MB PC2700 RAM and I installed it to make the machine run smoother. It never crossed in my mind to consider this machine running as an asterisk PBX system. My LaFonera is good enough to run about 32 VoIP accounts now.

| Mazilo and I have been collaborating on getting Asterisk to run on another embedded type system that we both own, a Netgear WGT634U router, so we have a common interest in this thread. I use a standard PC for my Asterisk production system, and he uses a LaFonera. I'm happy with my setup, and he is happy with his.
A question for Mazilo I've never asked. Does your LaFonera based Asterisk system also support the Asterisk voicemail capability, particularly the voicemail to email feature? |

I haven't configured my Fonera (the one running on DDWRT v24RC5 with asterisk v1.2.24) to handle voicemail, yet. I am in a process to get my other Fonera running with OpenWRT SVN + Asterisk v1.4.17 (still not able to compile a recent released of v1.4.18, yet) compiled from source. This unit will hopefully have voicemail + GTalk supports and among other things.
