Hi
I have a the same setup you mention here, except I have a tdm410 card. I
have a cf boot and a SSD card as well. Running Debian for firewall and
asterisk server. Works well I have 3 vpn tunnels and a 6to4 tunnel
ending on this machine, 2 fxs + 1 fxo. from my collectd graphs it looks
like it really only spike when I am taking readins :)
One catch the case that comes from soekris is too tight to put the molex
on, I had to solder it to the connectors underneath. all fine though
I am not sure about running a vm on this box though - I have some thing
similiar at another site, but a bigger box.
