In case anyone else is interested in running an Asterisk server on the BBB I've found that http://www.beaglebone-asterisk.org performs fairly well. Even better than on one of my older x86 systems. After doing some testing I'm ready for an initial deployment. Looks like it should be able to handle at least 6 simultaneous calls, which is more than I'll ever need. I'll post updates if I find anything interesting (good or bad).

It's running on a 64G micro-SD card:
    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
    Asterisk 11.8.0
    FreePBX 2.11.0.35

Later,
Artie

Running debian the BBB can run lxde, but it wont be like a current x86 system experience. But for comparison, the BBB has the rPI trumped in all but graphics.

    I'm looking for a replacement for my antique Trixbox Asterisk
    servers using a BBB solution. One is a home system, the other is a
    small retail operation. Both in reliable operation since 2008. Run
    part time by a someone with a long term interest in Linux and
    communications systems (me).

    The distribution http://www.beaglebone-asterisk.org/ is currently
    my focus. Is there anything I should know about it (good or bad)?
    Is there anything better for such use?

    My occupation is embedded systems, not IT. I'd prefer to have a
    reasonable GUI to manage the configuration where possible. FreePbx
    seems to provide that in place of Trixbox. Not that I'm afraid of
    scripting or re-building kernels, I just have other things to do too.

    Thanks!
