So carrying on with the last question asked in that thread...<br><br>The question is often asked, well the RPi works well as an Asterisk PBX so why not Allstar? When running a PBX you generally interface via Ethernet using an FXO/FXS analog adapter, a direct digital phone, or to another PBX. The USB interface is not used except for a keyboard and mouse in not run headless. With Allstar the RPi acts as a server (PBX in phone terms) and also an audio adapater via USB. Therein lies the problem. The interface via USB is flakey.<br><br>Another question might be that the RPi has a multimedia iso that can stream video and audio to a TV so why can't it do Allstar correctly. Again the answer is that the USB is not being used. The video and audio come out over the RPi HDMI port.<br><br>The server part of Allstar on the RPi seems to work fine. It works flawlessly with either locally or remotely connected iaxrpt. I also think it would work fine connected to an RTCM. Anyone want to try that? I don't have one. Of course this would be an expensive interface to connect to a Pi but if one had a really scaled down RTCM Ethernet to analog radio adapter it would probably work. Like an FXS for radio. That is what we really need a less than $100 Ethernet radio adapter. It, like the RTCM, could be run locally or remotely interfaced to a radio. Everything would be done over Ethernet. The Chinese could build it for $30. If DMK built it it might cost $150. <br><br>It might be too much work to finagle all this stuff just to prove an RPi can work since there are already other albeit a little more expensive board choices and more coming in the future. I am writing this to foster your ideas!</font><br><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font> </div></body>
