Hi Seb, It appears the OpenVox IX100 is just a case wrapped around an ALIX 2c2/2d2, please correct me if I am wrong. I would suggest the AstLinux image for ALIX on a Compact Flash card. The ALIX board has a serial port console (38400 baud, 8-bits, no parity), no video port. If you were to use the Generic i586 image you would want to use the "Serial Console" version. I'd stick with the ALIX image. While it is possible to setup, configure and run AstLInux with only an ethernet port(s), the serial console port can be useful at times. How many simultaneous calls ? If using SIP, if there is no transcoding, 20 simultaneous calls should be easy to do. Assuming the upstream bandwidth supports the SIP traffic or the calls are local. I suspect the ALIX / Soekris net5501 can handle far more than 20 before it hangs, but you want some head-room for other applications, firewall, etc. . This is just an estimate.
