[asterisk-users] Asterisk on a Beagleboard?

I was going to dismiss this, but it does offer an interesting possibility;
Since it can boot Debian ARM from an SD card,  you could have
"Asterisk-in-a-can" where you would have the Debian build and Asterisk on
the SD card and could hook up to a USB hub (for Ethernet connectivity) and
process up to 14GB of call-data before having to offload to
"permanent/traditional" media. If you really "went nuts", you could possibly
even power and use a DAHDI device off of some USB-powered peripheral.

128m of ram & 256 m flash for the 'hard drive' is not much in either
catagory. And ethernet is a USB addon, not on the board.
