Asterisk can scale to 10.000 users. Its probably about the maximum you 
could do on a quite powerful server if you don't need TDM hardware, but 
better would be to use a cluster, the database used would then 
eventually become the limit to the scaling.
I have no experience with SipX so i can't say if it will scale better 
without clustering.
