Don't attempt to use a Digium or other FXO and FXS card on a soekris 
board, especially if you plan on using a full-featured distribution like 
CentOS (which is what AAH uses).  See more below...

If you are going to use a hard drive AND an FXS/FXO card (assume 
TDM11B), you'd be happier using an EPIA board.  If you need dual 
ethernet ports, go with the PD10000. If not, the V10000 would work fine 
as well.

For information about AstLinux, go to http://www.astlinux.org  Note that 
there have been some pretty substantial changes in the past month and 
some of the documentation hasn't quite caught up to the 0.4.0 image.
