Greg,
I came across your name and
information via the Linux Telephony web site. My name is John Grana. I am the VP
of Software Engineering at Performance Technologies, Inc. (www.pt.com). We design and manufacture a variety of
telecom products. See the web page. The reason for my email is to offer some
hardware and as much code support as necessary to the OpenSS7
project.
The one (or two) products I
think would fit well is our latest CompactPCI T1/E1/J1 card. It has a 200 Mhz
PowerQUICC II (PowerPC core), 64Mb SDRAM, 16Mb flash, 8 software selectable
T1/E1/J1 ports and Ethernet (dual phys, single MAC - this is for fault
tolerance). The best part is that we have Linux running right on the card.
Presently we are running BlueCats (I believe it is 2.2.12 vintage kernel). This
product is called the PT-CPC388. We also have a dual T3 card - same
processor/memory/Linux support as the CPC388 - it has true dual
Ethernet.
As you will also see at our web
page, we do lots in the SS7 area as signaling gateways. Mostly this is for
country variants.
So, I would like to offer a few
CPC388 cards and anything else you might find interesting. I would also assign
and engineer (or 2) to assist in the port. We are (at least I am!) huge
proponents of Linux. We are also talking to Vovida to support SIP and RTP on our
products.
Let me know!
Thanks
John Grana
