[K12OSN] VT-310 DP as small workgroup server

[rmcdaniel at indata.us]

It would be nice to put it in one of the small cube cases, populate the
PCI slot with a Digium 2portFXO/2port FXS board, load LTSP and Asterisk
on the system.  Grab 2 HP T5510 thin clients, 2 LCD screens, 1 analog
telephone and 1 SIP phone, and a 5 port 10/100 switch.  It would make a
great demo system to show thin clients and IP Telephony.  You could
travel around the county selling it out of your car.  What a life!
