POTS Interface Card
TDM400P with 2 FXO Ports This card allows me to interface 2 POTS lines into the PBX system. I am considering adding an FXS line which would allow me to plug in regular analog phones into the system.

Case-Power Supply
Custom 19" 4 U rack mount case with 450 watt power supply. Click on the picture I highly recommend the company I bought it from! I bought 2 cases from them and they were both shipped immediately. I upgraded my main server with one of these cases and it has been running flawlessly (and much cooler).

SVN Server

Submitted by Admin on March 11, 2008 - 12:49pm.
Sun Enterprise 250
Running Solaris 10 This venerable workhorse is maxed out on hardware. Has 2 - 400 Mhz Ultra Sparc II Cpu's with 2gb of ram and 6 - 73 gb 10,000 rpm SCSI drives. Also onboard it a 100mb zip drive, a 320gb tape drive, and dual redundant power supplies. It is plugged into an APC 3200 watt UPS. I chose this as the svn server as it is a workhorse and barely used.

All in all a very stable system for the SOHO pbx world. Future tweaks will move the guts to a non pc looking wall mountable case. The power supply will be replace with a svelte 90 watt brick type. The whole thing sans the custom case and TDM card works out to about 185$
