* is running fine on an iBook G3/600 (Debian GNU/Linux) here.
Hardware may be a problem, though.
At least Digium's USB FXS adapter is working here, even though the driver
used to have some "intel only" days. (ie. it would not compile on PPC, due
to some hard-wired MMX stuff, but that was fixed in CVS after a few days.)

I guess the other Digium hardware should work just as well.

Many other vendors require binary-only (and therefore x86 only) firmware
upload tools, though.

HTH,

I have been running asterisk on an old PowerMac 9600 and YellowDog Linux 
for about a year now.  Asterisk software builds fine most of the time - 
there seem to be some trivial issues with the Makefiles for codecs at the 
moment.

I have an X100P card as the PSTN interface.  I suspect that the interface 
cards are likely to be your biggest problem - drivers supporting big endian 
systems are needed.  I don't know whether all the Digium drivers do.  ISDN 
cards from AVM and Eicon are not suitable for PPC Linux.

Is the PowerPC an appropriate and stable hardware platform for

I seem to recall in the last eight months that someone declared Macs 
would work with Digium hardware.  Search the -users and -dev archives 
for "yellow dog" or PPC to see what you get.

I don't know if the drivers for the cards have been tested on ppc 
machines.
