[Asterisk-bsd] Reliability

[Tim St. Pierre]

I just set up Asterisk 1.4.11 on a FreeBSD 6.2 system, and have been testing 
it for the last month or so.
I have a single FXO interface installed to provide timing.  The server is a 
Compaq DL380G2 with Dual 1GHz Xeon chips and about a Gig of ram.

When I was running Linux, it was a pain to administer, but didn't give me any 
grief.  Now, I'm having calls not hungup, unexplained asterisk core dumps, 
unsuccessful calls, and calls dropped when they are on hold.

All channels are SIP only.  No g729, no transcoding, just pure SIP.
I haven't seen a load average greater than 0.3 on this machine.  I usually 
don't get more than 16 channels at once, and see about 20,000 calls per 
month.
I'm thinking I should go back to Linux, but I really would prefer BSD.

Am I doing something wrong here, or is the BSD port just not as reliable?

Thanks

-Tim
