shadowym,

  With a little work one could use the Digium GUI and the existing
front end to rc.conf to provide a complete GUI for an AstLinux system
using %100 open source components.  Everything you need except the GUI
itself is already there (PHP, http/https server - even sqlite).  All
you have to do is provide the PHP...

  As Darrick mentioned I have been working with Sangoma to get their
cards supported in AstLinux again.  Look out for the announcement of
AstLinux 0.4.5 and AstLinux 0.5.0, both of which should feature full
Sangoma support (along with Digium cards, of course)!

  Whether or not AstLinux can meet your needs it would be much better
to use something that is OSS/Asterisk based.  Looking at your
requirements, it shouldn't be that hard.
