The Cisco ASA-IP phone setup will have run for its money with this bad boy!!!!

[WM: Add yourself to the reservation list. The link is in the article.]

Say, is there a module for PIAF that works like the trixbox module, allowing me to show server stats on my crystalfontz 635?

This is from experience.

Does it support any analog lines – my wife won’t let me get rid of our Bell line :(.

[WM: It only has a 90 watt power supply so… not much. As for analog, there’s no room in this box for a card. But you can add an inexpensive ATA to provide analog phone support.]

Open VPN or Hamachi? Or something else entirely? Also, will this be upgradable to PiaF 1.3 (and above) and be compatible with SUSHI?

[WM: It’s Hamachi for reasons we will explain shortly. And, yes, the system will come with PiaF 1.3 and be compatible with SUSHI.]

Which VPN technology are you using? I’d probably use Open VPN.

[WM: Sorry. No room for a second NIC.]

[WM: Yes.]
