Not an easy task.
You might be better with the 3810 and a Thin Client.
I am working on one now for Henry Geise.
I MAY have another Thin Client available soon, once I get past this project.
Several CNET members have used the AstLinux on a thin client to access 
CNET and even for other VOIP services that allow you to BYOD (Bring Your 
Own Device)/ Two here in the US and Mad Mark in AU all have them 
working. AstLinux runs out of a 64Meg Flash, with another partition for 
configs, called the KeyDisk. Really slick. No fan, no hard drive. Made 
to order for the low volume of calls on CNET!
The HP thin clients run off 12VDC at less than 3 amps, usually with a 
provided switching supply, so a complete CNET setup with a 3810, 
AstLinux and your HSIA router and you are off to the races.

Once you are into the 3810 and set up a few items, the rest can be done 
via Telnet. Telnet would allow you to download a text file for 
configuration, where the console having no flow control doesn't really 
work well for that.
I have found it MUCH easier to edit a text file off line than do 
everything through the console.

Best of luck
