Get a Soekris Net 4801 and load it up w/ Kristian Kielhofner's AstLinux 
distribution. It supports everything that you are asking for, and is 26 
megabytes in size.

AstLinux: http://www.astlinux.org
Soekris:  http://www.soekris.com/net4801.htm

Make sure you order the Soekris w/ the Case and Power Supply option. All 
told, you can build a PBX for about $300.
