I wonder if a slightly different approach to provision of the IAXy 
could be taken,.... (prob still not enough ram/flash.....

a bootp type protocol to a dns, with not only code, but dialplan 
(based on MAC address) as well, maybe just extra ram ? I haven't 
looked but it might be only a few chip change.....
