The only criticism I'd have of Sveasoft is lack of documentation, but in
general the software is pretty good (if you can work out how to drive it
properly :).

I'm sure there'll be an Asterisk port, especially as Sveasoft are making
loadable modules, so the core can be small, but functionality can be
added if required.
