Oct 01 16:13:53 <mocker`> I saw the NSLU2 demonstrated at Astricon last week as a small Asterisk appliance.  I'm curious if it would be possible to have Asterisk and OpenVPN installed on the device at the same time?
Oct 01 16:14:18 <mocker`> If so, it may be a good VPN device to allow remote users to connect to an Asterisk server that's behind OpenVPN.
Oct 01 16:17:44 <Reedy_Boy> Should be ok.. As long as you werent after too many users simultaneously..
Oct 01 16:18:57 <mocker`> Naw, just one user.
Oct 01 16:19:26 <mocker`> Are there multiple versions of the NSLU2 that I need to be worried about (like w/ WRT54G they have devices that have been raped of memory)
Oct 01 16:19:39 <mocker`> Or will anything that says NSLU2 work?
Oct 01 16:20:57 <eno> afaik, NSLU2 is just one device, unlike WRT, which is a family
Oct 01 16:21:48 <mocker`> awesome.
Oct 01 16:23:46 <Reedy_Boy> mocker`, well, there are 2 "versions"
Oct 01 16:24:00 <Reedy_Boy> one being underclocked at stock, the other not
Oct 01 16:24:20 <Reedy_Boy> But the modification to fix the first is minor and simple
Oct 01 16:29:54 * mocker` drives by the computer store to see if they have any.
Oct 01 16:33:55 <Reedy_Boy> 2 are better than one ;)
Oct 01 16:34:17 <Reedy_Boy> A note regarding the newer ones - if you buy one now, it shouldnt be de-underclocked
Oct 01 17:39:47 <osas> mocker: after you install your favourite firmware, check /proc/cpuinfo for the cpu speed
Oct 01 17:40:08 <osas> and let us know about your experience with asterisk and OpenVPN
Oct 01 18:11:50 <br3n> i am using dyndns.com to keep track of ip changes - the help page for the slug on this offers either a script approach or (seems added later) a reference at the top of the page to ddclient which is recommend for use by DynDns themselves... Which one are people using and which one works?
Oct 01 18:12:18 <br3n> the help page i refer to is this one http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/DynDNSupdate
Oct 01 18:29:32 <mocker`> osas: Will do.
Oct 01 18:29:44 <osas> thx
Oct 01 18:29:47 <mocker`> osas: I had to buy off Amazon.com, local store didn't carry them.
Oct 01 18:29:57 <osas> yeah ...
Oct 01 18:30:13 <osas> it's an old product ...
Oct 01 18:30:27 <osas> and it is not really advertised by Linksys
Oct 01 18:30:33 <mocker`> (which is why I got it for $80.. :))
Oct 01 18:30:42 <mocker`> NIB
Oct 01 18:31:34 <osas> which firmware do you intend to put on it?
Oct 01 18:34:38 <osas> I just uploaded the asterisk 1.4.11 package for openslug 3.10 on the nslu2-asterisk group
Oct 01 18:37:29 <mocker`> osas: I hadn't thought that far ahead yet.
Oct 01 18:37:57 <osas> you can use asterisk from the optware on any platform
Oct 01 18:38:35 <osas> if you want to use 'native' asterisk for openslug, then you need to use the ipkg from nslu2-asterisk yahoo group
Oct 01 18:39:36 <br3n> anyone else using dyndns ?   are you using ddclient (optware) or the script here http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/DynDNSupdate
Oct 01 18:39:52 <osas> one sec
Oct 01 18:40:05 <osas> I was using a script
Oct 01 18:40:25 <osas> the ipk is good for routers that are bound to the real external IP
Oct 01 18:40:39 <osas> if you are behind a router, you will need to use a script
Oct 01 18:41:12 <br3n> i do have a router.... how do i know if it is bound to real external IP?
Oct 01 18:41:59 <br3n> ok i re-read you prev comment and think i understand now
Oct 01 18:42:07 <mocker`> osas: Unslung sounds like the easiest way to start out.
Oct 01 18:42:15 <osas> yup
Oct 01 18:42:30 <osas> you can go later on to openslug (if you want)
Oct 01 18:42:40 <br3n> i am 3 days into slug ownership and unslung has been easy to set up 4 me!
Oct 01 18:42:59 <mocker`> osas: But there are packages for all that stuff in Unslung?
Oct 01 18:43:08 <johang> slugos (openslug) is really sweet
Oct 01 18:43:08 <mocker`> (sorry, I'm reading the FAQ as we talk)
Oct 01 18:43:17 <johang> mocker`: yes
Oct 01 18:43:34 <johang> optware packages work in both openslug and unslug
Oct 01 18:45:26 <mocker`> Hopefully this will work out well and I can do a demo w/ it at my next Asterisk User Group meeting.
Oct 01 18:45:46 <osas> heh
Oct 01 18:49:32 <yomismo> hi
Oct 01 18:50:04 * osas is pleased to see that the AstriCon trip is having results ;-)
Oct 01 18:50:24 <osas> yomismo: hi
Oct 01 18:50:41 <mocker`> osas: Was that you that gave the presentation?
Oct 01 18:50:52 <osas> yup
Oct 01 18:51:18 <mocker`> Nice.
Oct 01 18:51:23 <osas> thx
Oct 01 18:53:46 <mocker`> I think I caught a cold from Astricon. :(
Oct 01 19:01:15 <yomismo> That firmware I can install in my nslu2
Oct 01 22:23:55 <Kvaks> I changed UID from 2000 to 1000 for a user on my unslung system. I noticed that the user disappeared from the Linksys web interface. Will the user password be reset upon reboot?
Oct 02 02:55:10 <Penggu> hi all. are there any successors to the nslu2, hardware wise, or is it still in vogue?
Oct 02 02:55:52 <Penggu> i mean, i know there's lots of micro-pcs (if that's what they're called).. but some alternatives with nslu2's strong points (price, etc)
