Wayne, No reason not to use your preferred server over the Celeron. I would pay attention more to things like dual power supplies, mirrored RAM etc. The things that keep a server running day in and day out. I'm sure you don't want to explain to the boss as to why you need to fix "your" server. 73, Steve N4IRS On 4/2/2015 12:00 PM, app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 20:22:14 -0700 > From: "R.

As an ECOMM repeater system we will be able to selectively disconnect so that users may locally deal with their emergencies. Not a problem. Be we are wanting others to connect to our hub for nets or even chit-chat when the world is safe LOL. We are currently using a Dell 2.66GHz Celeron w/1GB of RAM. I was told that this is overkill. As Scooby wouldsay, ?Haruh?? Since I work for a company that throws old PC servers out I have my choice of many AMD?s at 2GHz and up. But I have a favored server with dual AMD 275?s and 8GB of RAM. This is a FAST PC!!! What?s wrong with using it? Is a wimpy Celeron a better choice for a hub server? ShouldI just add RAM and a SSD drive? I?m OK with that but we really want others to link to us. My boss is letting me put the server in the data centerso I have unlimited bandwidth. Our repeaters will all have RTCM?s. -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

We are setting up a three repeater system that will link all repeaters as we choose. As an ECOMM repeater system we will be able to selectively disconnect so that users may locally deal with their emergencies. Not a problem.

OT: Any Allstar nodes at schools/universities?
by Corey Lardinois (KB9BNA) 02 Apr '15

Hi all, I am working with a local university radio club to add an Allstar node to their repeater. The university's IT department has asked if we can provide a reference contact at another school or university that is providing Internet connectivity for AllStar (or something similar). Any chance that somebody might be able to provide a contact that's been involved with this in a school/university setting or maybe know of a public example where the school/university is sponsoring the Internet access? Feel free to contact me off-list if preferred. Many thanks, Corey (KB9BNA)

*Please Reply* Are the O'l Digium FXS or FXO pci cards Supported?

Or will they work? I remember reading they worked on old versions of apt_rpt I also figure they may be a better option than USB but relatively rare/expensive. I was just given a bag of them and was wondering if they'd be useful on Acid and what's going on now. Thanks! Steve Gladden Michigan Broadband Systems Connecting Your Business!
