SeattleWireless Asterisk Server

This past weekend Casey and I installed an Asterisk server at Seattle Community Colo Project.
The intention is to have this be the backend for voice and text messaging on Seattlewireless. Casey is working on a dial plan to provide free outbound calling to toll free numbers, and potentially some outbound calling to regular pstn numbers.

The current setup is a Soekris model 4801 running AstLinux. A stripped down linux distro designed to run asterisk on embedded hardware.

On a side note Seattle Community Colo is actively looking for non-profits or hobbyist who want to host boxes at their colocation facility. There suggested rates are extremely reasonable and available on their website.
