100% in agreement. Sangoma's got the DSL card. Soekris has the PCI but not
enough guts to run the whole affair. There are some decent mini-itx's out
there but we are really hurting for a decent fxo solution.

My dream box/device:

Hardware:
Fanless.
MiniPCI/PCI/onboard WLAN
MiniPCI/PCI/onboard ADSL modem
MiniPCI/PCI/onboard FXO+FXS with power-fail fail-over
sensible CPU
8-port VLAN-capable switch (non-PoE)
2 SDHC slots
1/8" stereo line-level audio in/out
Form-A relay contact for audio-out "live"
Simple LED indications
RS232 port for console

Sensible CPU means enough balls for WPA at full wireless rate, a single 
L2TP/VPN connection capable of saturating that DSL link, and maintaining a 
decent echo cancel on the FXS and FXO ports.

I'll even design a power injector for that switch, it's just too expensive
to 
put proper PoE in the standard design.

Software:
Linux, BSD, whatever
OPEN-SOURCE DRIVERS or modem and FXS/FXO
SIP T38-capable ATA software for FXS+FXO

I can design it.  I can build it.  I need help with funding and GUI/web
stuff.  

The IP04 and other Blackfin designs are on the right track, but the sticking

point is the onboard modem and form factor.  I've seen the IP-PBXes offered 
by others, but it's just not there.  Digium's appliance doesn't even come 
close.  Surely everyone else must be seeing the need for a nice small 
wireless DSL router that has the balls to be a good firewall too and runs 
something open.
