VOIP in a stick!


Gumstix have been a favorite gadget for me for some time. My first experience was with their waysmall 200. I am still busy with it as, there are many a things you could do with these miniature computers. My first successful project was a out door Wireless Antenna /Gateway. Only connection I had was a 20M Ethernet cable from my office to roof top. Anyway that is a subject for another article.
Today we will focus on the new netstix 200xm-cf.(pictured right).
The netstix 200xm-cf computer has received FCC Class A certification for business use. See Part 15, Subpart B, of the Federal Register (CFR 47, Parts 0-19). At 35mm x 103mm [1-3/8 x 4-1/8"], the netstix 200xm-cf comes with 64MB of Ram and 16MB of flash memory, runs at 200MHz and starts at $165 USD each for orders of 1,000 units or more.

Let me give you a little taste before I go on;

Yes this is the "ps auwx" command from the gumstix. Yes I arrived at this via World's Smallest VoIP PBX page on the AstLinux site.
But the information was too little;
"The Gumstix is a very flexible line of Xscale based SBC's (single board computers) manufactured by the nice guys over at Gumstix. Work is currently underway to fully integrate this effort with AstLinux. The model I used was the 400xm with the following hardware specs:

- 400mhz Intel XScale Procesor
- 64mb RAM
- 16mb flash
- netCF daughterboard (one CF socket and one 10/100 ethernet)".
But I went to Kristian Kielhofner's site via the link provided.
That's where I found all the gems I needed. But now I will have to spend sometime getting these stuff in to my gumstix or a new one.
But voipstix will be a boon for all the road warriors who want to carry voip on a stix.
