I'm running 1.4.19 and it has been pretty stable. Anything before  
1.4.19, however, I found was embarrassingly unstable. I'd often get  
several crashes within an hour. However, since moving to 19 things  
have been better.

I don't run Queues, though, but I do run a custom derivative of  
Queues that fixed some bugs and greatly enhanced its usability for us.

We do tens of thousands of calls per day (mostly inbound) running on  
under Debian, although I had to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.23.11 in  
order to get ztdummy to work on my HP DL380. CPU load remains rather  
low. We are all SIP, no zaptel.

I used to run IAX2 between my three servers (one's a backup and for  
testing, the other handles desk phones and ATAs), but found IAX2  
very, very unreliable. It would hang Asterisk, crash, etc. I just  
replaced it with SIP (and turned off the module) and those problems  
went away.
