Why stop at trunking? Or - why not add in the trunking facility to an
existing COTS product?

I have asterisk running on an adi-coyote derived board (an Xscale 533 Mhz)
(the coyote is described at
http://www.adiengineering.com/productsCoyote.html - our board is  
considerably cheaper to manufacture, but the pricetag is still a bit
much unless we could do serious volume with it - inquiries wanted.:))
Runs 16+ sip calls, transcodes (the speex codec even works, tho it
eats about 10% of cpu), I've had it doing iax trunking, no prob....
all on a board  bigger than the iaxy, but smaller than the size of
your hand...

Asterisk is also running on a slug (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/)

and on openwrt...

And I've been trying to get it running on an EP9302 board...
