I don't see the writing of CDR that much of an issue.  You have a million
writes per memory block on a CF card -- that is a lot of calls. 

I was thinking an appliance base system would be great for a remote office
that has a handful of users that need to connect to the main branch office.
It could also be used as the router with QOS and VPN connectivity.

It may also be a good fit for a small business with only a couple of users.

I don't know, maybe I just have a fixation on CF cards.
