I was just looking at them since someone has built a mini distro to make
one of these devices into a MythTV front end. I could see spending $200
per TV in my house to front them with these little boxes and then fill a
couple machines up in a rack in the basement taping shows for the
family. But, this is the wrong list to finish talking about this
subject.

As a phone platform, it may be overkill, but I bet it could drive a
TDM400P card and be able to handle GSM compression. The question then
again is if it is worth the cost for basically a 4 port asterisk based
device like the ATA186?
