It appears to support a SD/MMC card, meaning that it can support gigs of
low power storage space.  Or a USB HDD for higher power storage space.

128m of RAM isn't a lot, but some people are apparently running Asterisk
on 32MB Linksys WRT54GS's (OpenWRT).  If you were careful and cautious,
it'd probably work.

The Ethernet as an add-on kinda stinks and is probably the largest
negative.
