Thanks to the hard work of others I've been able to compile enough pieces together to put Asterisk on my Kuro Box.

The Kuro box is a small box made by Buffalo Technology, its really just the link station product rebranded for the hacker. The desire for me to do this was now that I have fully switched my house over to VOIP it needs to be up all the time. Go figure, the wife expects the phone to work. So the kuro box gives me a dedicated box that only consumes 17-20 watts of power.

I was able to compile and get asterisk to work on the Kuro but I had been spoiled by another project called Asterisk@Home> which put a great web admin page on top of Asterisk called AMP. So I made a version of Asterisk@Home for the Kuro Box.

So if your interested in VOIP, want a dedicated box that doesn't use too much power, and you want it all to be easy. Well, I think I have something for you.

Asterisk_KuroHG.tar.bz2 - Full image to be installed on partition 1 of any ide disk and then put in the Kuro box. Includes the following:

• FedoraCore 4 for ppc (Thanks to bconoboy)
• 2.6.15.4 kernel (Thanks to Javascout)
• Asterisk 1.2.4 and zaptel 1.2.4 rpms recompiled for ppc (Thanks to Axel Thimm for the spec files)
• ztdummy compiled for the kernel
• MySQL for CDR and other data
• Apache for AMP
• AMP

All boots and runs fine in the 128 Meg of ram. I do have a few issues though, The reports page under AMP is not working yet. I'll try and figure that out soon. The Call Data is being recorded, just not showing up in the report.

Please let me know if try this image and if its useful to you.
