<DIV>We had an experience with asterisk in a 512 MB IDE Compact Flash card. It uses nearly 400 MB of storage with a minimum installation of Linux, and 2.6.10 Kernel. I has web access with AMP Portal with needed modules as apache, php, etc. But the size can be less. It works fine. You can search about embedded asterisk. There are quite doc on the web.</DIV>
