[olug] small Asterix install?

  I talked to Nenad Corbic from Sangoma last week and he mentioned an 
AST linux, which I'd not been able to find, but  that 'Astinux' was the 
clue I needed - I do see that they have a Soekris specific version. 
We've got a project that might need a Sangoma A102 dual T1 card in a 
small system which is what brought me to that discussion. Its not a PBX 
job, just procotol conversion, but Asterix seems like a good starting 
point to do that.

  I've got a 2610XM running CCME for our office phone system, one 7960 
here on my desk, a 7910 in the cage downstairs, and one 7940 at another 
guy's house that is yet to be configured. I've also got a 1751V with FXS 
& FXO ports and a 7940 on my desk for experiment's sake - I'm about to 
get certified in the Cisco Call Manager Express product. There are a 
7960 and a 7936 conference phone that are on hand for spares which could 
be pressed into service, too.

 So you'd be willing to take my 4801, a spare 7940 phone, and make a 
working PBX out of it?
