[VoIP] Asterisk on Wyse Diskless 941G "Thin" client terminal

[Donald Froula]

I recemtly came by a new Wyse diskless 941G client
terminal, loaded with Windows XPe. This is a diskless
workstation that is designed to run server
applications over VNC or Microsoft Citrix. It has a
full complement of
USB/parallel/serial/keyboard/monitor/audio/network
ports.

The box has a single PCI slot. Plugged into one of the
motherboard IDE slots is what looks like a flash
memory module. There are no drives installed at all,
although there are spots for a CDROM and floppy drive.
It is preloaded with a few stand-alone apps, such as
Internet Explorer and Media player. The BIOS appears
to be standard Award BIOS.

This would make a very cool platform for Linux and
Asterisk. Wyse makes Linux-based client terminals, but
I'm not sure if their software would run on this
Windows XPe box, or if Wyse Linux would have the tools
necessary to compile Asterisk and Zaptel.

Any thoughts? Anyone tried this already?
