What is missing? Are you refering to pieces missing in the application or the
operating system? I cannot believe it's the OS (other than the hardware
support of Digium devices, which I understand and accept); unless a direction
was specifically undertaken to include "Linux-isms" in Asterisk?

No, judging from the other messages I've read in this thread, it looks like
there are plenty of other people willing to make that effort. :)
