not if you are talking telcobridges, which does hotswappable failover
complete with ss7 and sonet iirc.  This is actually real telco gear that
another FOSS telephony platform was ported to, so that you can get the
benefits of stable tested carrier grade hardware with the benefits of
FOSS apps for control and integration into whatever topology you happen
to have.

Of course you will pay for such reliability, but if you prefer stability
over budget then telcobridges isnt a bad way to go, if you are trying to
do it on the cheap and stability isnt as big of a concern then the
oc3->sip->asterisk cloud may be what you want.
