Likewise here at KC2ENI. I've been running one now for about 9 months with a 512MB USB key and other than using about half of it for my MOH collection it's almost empty.
I use an SPA3K to handle my POTS line rather than install an X100P clone. Could I have used a WRAP board? I think so. I'm gonna do a WRAP install at a local builders yard. I'm gonna use the black case for the PBX and the red case for the m0n0Wall with WiFi. I'll let you all know.
