Very few (2 perhaps) - You will be transcoding on the  WRTG54.
On that sort of box you need to stick to a single codec. In your case  
I guess GSM.
If you want to transcode, you will need a bigger cpu.

If your phones support it, I'd use GSM everywhere, since your original
problem was bandwidth.

Do take a look at the OpenSlug on the nslu2 - The nice thing
about the 'Slug' is that you can add a USB harddrive for swap and
voicemail, so it is more 'expandable' than the WRTG54

I should warn you I have never tried trunking IAX on my slug,
I will do at some point....
