Our topic this month:

Embedded Asterisk: A Crazy Man's Approach to VoIP

Two worlds collide as one man with an embedded platform combine to take on
the world of VoIP. After a casual encounter with Trixbox on a cold winter's
night, Terry thought that it can't be this complex for a simple home system.
All he wanted was a cheap phone line, voicemail, SMS messaging and to stick
it to Verizon. But how? Where?

Thus began the adventure of Asterisk on an embedded platform. Teaming up
with a Soekris board, a compact flash with a reader and a network
infrastructure capable of TFTP, DHCP and NFS, it was proven that Asterisk
doesn't need to be that complex! A few lines in a couple config files and
you, too, can wow your friends and family with an embedded Asterisk server.

Will the adventure stop here? Or does Terry have plans for future embedded
devices to run Asterisk? Only time (and the demands of his
wife) will tell...
