Hi, We are in need of a bunch of gateways with the following requirements:
- must be absolutely silent
- must be capable of running Debian
- must allow for 3 network interfaces, one of which could be
a builtin 802.1x-ready WLAN access point (WPA2 support
required).
- must allow for extension cards to connect POST telephones for
VoIP usage
- should probably come with solid-state media (flash) to reduce
noise and failure rate due to harddrive. Anyway, spare 1.5"
harddrives (silent, and very sturdy) are available if needed.
- should have bluetooth or USB connectivity to connect headsets.
I looked around a bit and found primarily the PowerMac G3 cubes and
many ARM machines. The problem I see with PowerMacs is the
extensibility for I seem to recall that Apple would like you to buy
their products, not just any standards sold cheaper by someone else.
And the problem with the ARM machines is that Debian may soon drop
this architecture (this is not confirmed, but under discussion).
Do you know of other machines that meet the above criteria and are
affordable? I really do not want to have to spend more than 400
€ per box.
