What about Building as asterisk system based on a distribution like
Bering-uClibc:

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=910&page_id=36

It is really a firewall/router system, but has a ton of other packages
available and it is easy to convert to running it on a CF card.  I deploy my
firewalls using this package on a CF card.

They have lots of packages available as well:  

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=91017&page_id=51

It would be neat to have a Asterisk package that you could use for it. You
would need to have access to a HDD to store voicemail since Bering uses a
ram based file system.  I wonder if running Asterisk from a ram file system
would have benefits?
