I have heard of some efforts on this regard a couple years ago. As
far as I know, it all came to nothing.

The main point is that a PC hardware is not as reliable as a telco
hardware. Add to that the fact that Linux has few reasons for a
reboot except for hardware failures, and that becomes a not very
interesting project.
