That's plenty. My systems run happily in just that. (Geode processor) 
However no Ethernet is going to be an issue! They actually "use" just 48MB 
of RAM, but it's nice to have a bit spare...

However, I can't see it being hard to get it to work - I understand 
Asterisk was ported to the Nokia 770's way back - that's also ARM based, 
using it's Wi-Fi interface.

Can't wait to get my Nokia E900 - Arm based Linux tablet with a mobile 
phone bolted on :)
