We've used the Asus eeeBox (desktop version of their little netbooks) quite 
successfully in past projects: Atom 1.6, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD.

Generally we run Gentoo Linux with Asterisk 1.4.<latest>, but no reason why 
you couldn't run another version you're more comfortable with.

For 3 concurrent calls, even a machine of this spec might be overkill, but 
it's a good general-purpose server to have on-site at a remote location and 
might be useful for other things (general fileserver, rsync backup server, 
etc.).

The eeeBox also has the advantage of being cheap (quite probably cheaper 
than smaller/lower power units), which means keeping a spare around in case 
of hardware failure isn't an unrealistic option.

Regards,

Chris
