If people really want to use CF, you could store a kernel and initrd on it
and boot your system into a ramdisk.  Most of the single-floppy Linux
router distros work like that.  This way, you're only reading from the CF
once per boot (and barely writing at all).

You would have to come up with a way to make storage of your voicemail
persistent, but this could be done by using the existing feature of
e-mailing the message...
