I've long been a fan of Asterisk (even before 1.0), but I have to say
that for flexibility, nothing beats FreeSWITCH. Literally *every*
aspect of it can be configured dynamically. Anyway, I not trying to
turn this into a Ford vs. Chevy thread. I only mention it because of
the insane levels of flexibility you can get. Personally, I'm happy to
have so many great tools to choose from.

Happy hacking!
