I've got a few Pi's and at the moment I'm experimenting with Astrisk PBX to deploy in a small 5 person office. Model B (512M) works really well - search for Incredible PBX Raspberry Pi
In terms of a file and print server, I think David is right about the disk performance. I tend to use at least class 6 SD cards which makes the Pi feel faster but you're limited to about 64gigs of space which isnt much.
