Hi Chris,

No, I deliberately avoided any analogue processing in the soekris box. I
doubt that it would have the processing power. All the analogue to IP
conversion is done externally. I have a Grandstream BudgetTone 101 IP
phone, a Sipura SPA-3000 ATA, and an IAX connection to my provider. I
set up all the devices to avoid any transcoding. I've been using FreeBSD
for many years. But, I'd expect OpenBSD to be able to do all of it too,
if that's your preference.
