Based on Brooks' post, I think the physical and power footprint 
requirements as well as in-house supportability are paramount here.

There's no question that a few Freeswitch boxes can do this in software 
just fine, and I don't think that's under controversy. But I don't think 
it's what he wants.

Simon, I think you're under the impression that you're arguing with a 
traditional ILEC blockhead/troglodyte who doesn't understand FOSS. 
That's an understandable assumption given the amount of people on this 
list who seem to be constitutionally unable/who cholerically refuse to 
grasp that one doesn't need to spend $200,000 on a proprietary appliance 
to accomplish fairly trivial objectives, but in this case incorrect. 
It's just not what Brooks wants. :-)
