As for Debian: I figure Etch will do. Don't know about Sarge, if this is
too non-standard a platform.

As for lack of PCI: there is some non-PCI Asterisk hardware. Heck, I
work for a company that makes one. And although the Digium S100U is
discontinued, I heard someone on the dev list writing a zaptel driver
to use some USB modem for certain USB modems.

ztdummy should allow you just that: zaptel timing based on the system's
clock, which can be used in the absense of zaptel hardware.
