Now we're in! Here's my take on things (being a mostly VoIP person). 
While I think the idea of a user programmable core would be nice, I 
would personally leave it up to the manufacturers that specialize in 
each thing. Ocstasic is great for echo cancellation and Brooktrout aka 
now Cantata for faxing.

These aren't the views of Digium, just my past experience.
