Hi Brian,
This is a start: http://www.digitmat.com/ - you need to follow some links, but it's open source.

Those people have a troubled history. They were the people behind many of the early cheap, but less than stellar, VoIP phones, with a chip that isn't made any more - the PA1688. They seem to have regrouped, and have a newer chip. I wonder if they have got their act together this time.
Sigh... When is someone actually going to build an open platform voip hardware phone... Its just a linux box that happens to be shaped like a phone, with a touch screen, 48kHz sound card... and possibly video too.
/b PS: Most of those eastern made phones are crap.

Atcom AT-620 (http://www.atcom.cn/AT620.html#~tab-small_midsized_large_enterprises) is quite ok and cheap (~30$)... also we have been talking to Atcom to add a sort of auto-provissioning (dhcp/http) and this is going to happen next week.

ATCOM are amenable to the idea of supplying hardware for other people to put their own software on. Some of their phones use Infineon chip sets, and I think those are running software based on the Infineon Linux reference platform. All it takes is a few good people with the commitment to actually do something. I expect there are other Chinese makers who would be delighted to supply bare hardware to people, and a lot of the cheaper current Chinese phones have very similar Infineon based designs.
