Thanks very much for your input. "rarely crashes" sounds a bit wacky
but 15 million minutes is impressive.

I think I'll start with Asterisk just to see that I can get it running
(and connect my mobile to it as a SIP client) and then see whether I
want to switch/try FreeSwitch.

I don't know anything about Asterisk so can't decide whether I want to
use a script yet.
My only experience with a dialplan was on my Sipura 3000 and I even
lost my password to that one (will have to reset it eventually).

I just stumbled upon FreePBX. Is it worth anything?
