You will need to run PAIF and AllStar on separate boxes. Use IAX to connect the two.
If you only have one outside IP address, you can put change AllStar to use a different port for it's outside IAX connection to the AllStar network and then the PAIF box can use the standard IAX port (if needed). Your the PAIF box to connect to the usual VOIP trunk providers.
Use the 32 bit Centos 6.3 PAIF distro and install PAIF Purple for a stable setup. (Asterisk 1.8, FreePBX 2.10)
For light duty applications, I've heard good reports about running PAIF on a Rasberry Pi, but that's still a bit experimental.

Hi all,
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.
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.
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).
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).
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.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
Shane.
