I browsed via Google to search for low power (<10W) hardware. Ideally it
is some small piece of H/W with an internet RJ45 and some scandisk
disk module to boot from into RAM (e.g. Puppy Linux). So once in RAM,
speed shouldn't be a big concern anymore. There are quite some
possibilities/solutions available. I need to run just a small webserver,
and asterix (VoIP) for just a few users. What is the experience here,
with regards H/W? Thanks.

Best Regards,

How small? VIA has the edge on low power and small size. PC2500 gOS
motherboard from ClibIT.com is $60 - VIA C7 1.5 ghz. Also look for mini-
itx, nano-itx, pico-itx - several sources: mini-itx.com or viaarena.com
would be places to start your search.

That should be CLUBIT.COM and that particular motherboard is sold out...

The Atmel NGW100 works pretty well for me. Not a "PC", more
of a SBC. Two NICs, 32MB RAM, MMC slot, comes with Linux
already loaded. $80 at Mouser.
