Having said that.. have you looked at 'purpose built appliances' e.g. http://www.lannerinc.com/ http://us.axiomtek.com/ If you are looking for a full router....

While one can do everything on a big server .. however breaking things out e.g. voip trans-coding and routing make maintenance, availability, and ability to create redundancy much more practical.

The router will take a voip transcoding line card, and will act as an edge router for a telecom company. For things like BGP (Quagga, Zebra, all that lovely stuff!!!), static routes, and firewall capabilities we are thinking gentoo linux stripped for sure however, what about the BSDs? FreeBSD or OpenBSD. Any comments, feedback, does, and don'ts are much appreciated. Kind Regards, Nick.
