That is correct; we would not recommend using just *any* CF card, as the
write speed of the card needs to be pretty high to be able support
multiple voicemail messages being written simultaneously. With that
said, though, it is possible to use a higher capacity CF card, but my
previous response that said it was 'easy' was a bit of an overstatement
:-) It can be done, and our support department does know how to get you
the files you would need to populate the replacement card.

This is correct as well; the Linux kernel on the AA50 does not have NFS
support nor SMB support, and there are no userspace tools present to
handle NFS or SMB mounting of filesystems.
