I'm runing Asterisk for a year now as the IPBX of our little consulting 
firm. It stopped working only 4 times: two of these where power failures 
and the other two turned out to be Telco company problems (dead line).

We have 2 PSTN lines (using Digium X101P cards), 5 intrernal VoIP 
extentions (Grandstream budgettone - one of which is located on another 
continent, using a Wifi connection to a near by village that hosts an 
ADSL router... don't ask) and 2 VoIP termination/origination "lines".

Of course, your mileage may very, but at least here there is no nightly 
restart script.


Hope that helps you in any way.
