<p dir="ltr">Hi all,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am supposed to be having a HP T5630w thin client delivered to me today, and I was planning to install PBX In A Flash on it, which was recommended by one of the members of the list.</p>
<p dir="ltr">First up, can I install from say a 1GB stick to a 8 or 16GB stick, and leave the larger stick semi-permanently in the machine as boot media under the cover at the top? The thin client is quoted with only a 2GB IDE SSD, certainly not enough for this OS, and I don't want to wait another couple of weeks for postage on a 32GB IDE SSD.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Next question, which is the best version of PIAF to get? Nowhere that I can see does it quote which version of Asterisk its using or whether it would be suitable for use with the correct version for app_rpt (which is 1.4 as I take it from numerous discussions).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Last question - this'll be running on the thin client, and as we know, there are *some* security issues with 1.4 (of course, theres probably security issues with 1.8 too, but they haven't been exploited yet, so I'm not bashing 1.4, I know no piece of networked software is totally secure) so would you recommend using this "repeater controller" box on an IAX trunk to a 1.8 "PABX controller" box, and let the PABX face the world? I fully intend on using the internal but offsite connections over a VPN, but to get to the outside world and onto the PSTN it needs to go through my ITSPs, Exetels, indial account(s).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of course, if this is recommended, which I strongly suspect it is, I'll have to get another thin client and load 1.8 on it, and establish the IAX trunk, which I imagine would be a simple exercise.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks in advance for all your help!</p>
