Well personally, I would go to 1.2.x unless there was some feature in
1.4 that is absolutely needed but the OP said that was not a long term
option.  I have deployed ONE 1.4 system and that is because I had to,
no work arounds due to hardware (unless zaptel 1.4 plays nice with
Asterisk 1.2).

I will probably continue this train of thought (1.2.X is more
production ready) until these threads stop popping up on the list.

Thanks,
