What is the smallest footprint that Asterisk could run on?
Do you think that 5 -10 extensions could be run on this device?
With Asterisk, what you need to engineer for is number of simultaneous
calls, not number of registered devices. I would say that anything with more
than 200MHz worth of CPU could be counted on to handle at least 10 calls
with no troubles, as long as transcoding and echo cancellation were not
involved.
Another question I'd have is "why this device?". This thing costs more than
a Linksys WRT54GL, and while I personally love tiny computers, at $100 per,
one has to understand the value of the miniature form factor in terms of the
problem being solved.
If you slim down the config, you will be able to fit asterisk in about
6M of RAM (SIP only). At 266MHz (ARM) you will be able to handle around
10 calls until the idle CPU will bounce between 0 and 30% idle.
Check out the linux Linksys routers (as Jim mentioned) or the Linksys
NSLU2 device (more RAM) - http://www.nslu2-linux.org/
For most of the hackable routers and NAS, you can find precompiled
packages under the optware feeds.
