a reliable answer to this question since there are at least 4 major “flavors”
of Asterisk out there (1.0/1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8) and open and commercial
source. It is reliably > 10,000 and quite possibly over 100,000
or even over 1 million. The asterisk folks might be willing to tell you
how many downloads have been done from <A
href="http://www.asterisk.org/">www.asterisk.org</A>, but that wouldn’t tell
you the real number.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV></DIV>
