The Digium boards need to be restarted once a week?

Please clarify this. I was dead set on getting in a Sangoma A104 for a
production Asterisk box, but then I read this thread and felt that it
didn't matter so much what I would order... And so I was deciding to
stick with Digium. And then I read your scary comment.

I've currently got a Digium board filled with 3 T1s, but it hasn't
been under heavy use right yet, due to my attention being pulled from
* and put onto SER+AudioCodes devices for other applications, and I
haven't had to restart yet. Is this going to change? What's the deal?

Please clarify your statement for me, as I need reliability as well.

Thanks.
