But C isn't as maintainable as nice Java apps, and it's as simple as 
that. Basically, I'm after the most powerful interface possible to 
Asterisk, but trying to make it as friendly as possible to code things 
against. As far as our organization is concerned, that pretty much means 
Java objects.

There isn't anything else worth using. :)
But there might be in six months' time. Or we might want to plug the IVR 
into something with far more channels than an E1 that has a Cisco badge 
on the front and talks SS7 (although I guess we can always break that 
into a T1 channel bank or whatever and plug T1s into the TE405Ps we have 
on order).

I shall look into that. Thanks. :)
