Another thing to consider though; 1.4.8 is prior to the Zaptel-to-Dahdi conversion so that might cause you some “joy”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Todd Routhier<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, November 28, 2011 2:31 PM<br><b>To:</b> asterisk-users@lists.digium.com<br><b>Subject:</b> [asterisk-users] Recommendations<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am currently running Asterisk 1.4.8 and have been for quite a while, it has served me well.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Getting ready to build a new box to replace the existing installation of Asterisk.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>My primary use of the Asterisk box is run queues.
