you can if you have the RAM and FLASH space in order to do it. it may take a good deal of time because the FSB doesn't run nearly as fast as regular mother board. Some of the newer thin clients may have faster FSBs, but the older ones like HP T5720 are a number of years old and their primary function in life is for appliance users. ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ On Fri, 2013-02-15 at 12:08 -0800, Tony KT9AC wrote:
Once Limey is up and running on these Thin Clients, is it possible to then add and recompile Asterisk (configure, make, make install) right on the HP? I need to add in the MDC1200 functionality from the extras directory. I take it you would just SSH in like any other normal node, right?
Thanks, Tony

You may be able to get away with not buying a micro-drive which will fail sooner than later.
Use Limey Linux. I have a Neoware which was bought out by HP. Neoware and HP thin clients have VIA chipsets in there, ie microprocessor, ethernet controller, audio, and Super i/o which controls your serial, parallel ports among other things.
I used the K0KN PLRI interface that I was able to build from parts in my junk box. After a little solder smoke filled the air, made a few adjustments, the URI was working for the TX. I use the inexpensive StarTech USB sound FOB for TX/RX audio, and have the settings set to DSP to detech RX audio and CTCSS tone. After it was setup with a service monitor, it works wonderful. Zero issues.
Now I just need to build, test, and install a better, higher, antenna.
