I'm running it in a variety of configurations on a number of WRT54GS 
models.  There's no reason to think that it wouldn't work on the plain 
Gs as well, especially if they're the newer-issue models.

Beware of freaky performance in certain transcoding situations.  In 
general, except for GSM you can't do transcoding on it because of the 
lack of FPU.

Also you can't record voicemails directly to the jffs2 filesystem; the 
compression takes too long.  You have to do some magic with the ramfs 
(assuming you would want to store vms on an embedded system, which is a 
bit dicey) and then move them in non-real-time to the jffs2 partition 
behind the scenes.

I just ship my voicemail offboard.
