Excellent choice with both m0n0wall and AstLinux. I use that here and particularly like the traffic shaping features and the captive portal on the m0n0wall. Just beware that if you use the captive portal for a WiFi node you'll have to use NAT to talk to the VoIP clients connected through it. The portal will not allow connections from the LAN to the WiFi and so you'll only get one way audio.
Setup here is a 3 port WRAP for the m0n0wall with one port connected to the WAN, one to the LAN and one to the WiFi. The WiFi is a WRT54G V6 running DD-WRT and the Astlinux is running in a NET4801. Yes you can send your CDR data to an SQL server. You'll need to pratty about with the cdr_blah.conf files. However, AstLinux comes "pre-configured" to use a CSV type filing method which is actually very usefull and probably way more than enough for a small office setup. It even has it's own web front end to interogate the records. You might do well to run V0.3.0 rather than the latest 0.4.2. Granted, the latest version has the IAX2 DoS issue fixed but it also has a broken VM to email facility which may be a selling point to your client. The DoS attacks can be minimized by some clever firewall rules or even running the IAX link over a VPN (as happens here). Don't forget that you can purchase AstLinux domed labels to give your product that extra look of professionalism too. http://www.enicomms.com/astlinuxdomedlabel.html Good luck with your project!
