As far as stability goes, I know of at least one person using it on this list that had an uptime of greater than 6 months last time I checked (and it's probably been 3 or 4 months since I've checked it) handling ~110,000 calls setups per day. This was doing SS7<->IAX bridging for voicemail termination, so from a stability perspective, that was a stable application. I think a lot of instability that people can run into with Asterisk is caused by use of non-call-switching related features (queues, agents, funny applications, etc). As long as you stick to using it as a call switching platform, I have rarely seen huge, unnoticed, stability related regressions in that area, and those that do occur are found very quickly since the dial plan is probably one of the most tested parts of Asterisk :-) -- Matthew Fredrickson Digium, Inc.
