Until recently, we were running 1.2.24 between 2 remote facilities and 1 
home office (Mine) with iax2 trunking.  I've never had a trunk fail on 
me.  We're running it over openvpn.  I've since gone to 1.4.15 and have 
had no problems with it dropping either.  We aren't running huge amounts 
of traffic over it.  Maybe 35 to 40 calls per day from each facility.
