security would be the obvious answer.  is the distro and packages
up to date - what services does it run, are they listening
on any ports, is there a firewall used to protect listening
ports or are services carefully configured to negate this.
are default or known username/passwords on the system..hardcoded
dbadmin/dbpass, for example.  in 'ye olde days' when an applicance
was coded for its purpose..didnt matter as much. now, when appliances
are based on Linux, Windows (or OSX!) these things are of a major 
concern...you have a fully operational system that, if compromised
would/could give enhanced access to the network and other systems..
but also then be subverted for free trunk calls to south asia
or greenland etc.
