Hi,

I've been running Asterisk on a VIA C7 Nano board for nearly 2 years. We 
have two IAX2 numbers inbound and an IAX-IAX trunk to our other office, 
an X100p for an analogue line backup and various sip extensions.

The box also acts as my development server, home file server and plenty 
of other stuff too. Oh, yes, it's downclocked to 1Ghz and has 1GB of RAM.

Processing capacity is not really the limitation. The speed of your 
upstream broadband line is the most restrictive aspect.

We don't do any transcoding it's all G.711.

HTH
