I would agree, in assessing how bad SIP is the article is outdated. My 
goal is, however, different. We are already using SIP, and I wanted to 
know how bad is IAX2. I am afraid the information in the article matches 
what others suggested: IAX2 support requires an overhaul to become 
viable in a high volume production environment. It is suitable for home 
or a very small office with no trained personnel, though, where traffic 
is low. If you disagree, please tell me where do you think I am mistaken.

s/bad/good/g for a more optimistic point of view.
