google for astlinux, for a rather minimal asterisk system. > 2.

If you go for an embedded-type system, prepare a separate build system. The build system can actually reside on a separate architecture/OS . > 3. What hardware do I require to see the working of Asterisk? Basically: a network adapter, if this is a voip-only setup. Is this a voip-only setup? > 4.

Will it build directly on PPC board using GCC? zaptel is linux-dependent, but not very processor-dependent. > 7. What is the memory requirement for Asterisk? Quite depends on your usage. > 8. Is there any port of Asterisk on any processor other than Intel? zaptel build on a number of other architectures: follow links from http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/zaptel . Though I'm not sure if they tried to build zaptel-source on all architectures. I've seen bug reports for at least amd64 and ppc, and probably also for mps (le?) > 9.
