We are planning to run asterisk on "routerboards", greap pieces of

greap = great and cheap? I really like the Soekris boards;
I run vanilla OpenBSD on them so vanilla Linux should be the same
(you just have to load it into a flash card, 128M or 256M).
Adding Asterisk to either OS on one of these should be trivial.
There's no telephony interface to it, but for a cheap, low-power
(Solar? Neat!) standalone IP+VOIP router, that should be excellent.
Anyone on the list who is not familiar with Soekris, check out
www.soekris.com.
The CPUs are a bit slow by today's Windoze XP standards, but for their
purpose
they are great.
