Someone we work with calls Asterisk "crack." You think you should get off of it, but every time you try something different it has various limitations that drive you back. Our view is that Asterisk flexibility lets us do interesting things that other providers can't do with their high end commercial products, and we have customers who are with us specifically because they had a request that others said "can't" be done. It also lets us build a crazy amount of physical redundancy for very little cost.
I've long been a fan of Asterisk (even before 1.0), but I have to say that for flexibility, nothing beats FreeSWITCH. Literally *every* aspect of it can be configured dynamically. Anyway, I not trying to turn this into a Ford vs. Chevy thread. I only mention it because of the insane levels of flexibility you can get. Personally, I'm happy to have so many great tools to choose from. Happy hacking! Gabe Gunderson izeni.com
