Hi All, Eagerly waiting for v1.4.x to mature a bit before getting serious about it. Is it ready for production yet? If that's too general, where is it in terms of stability compared to where 1.2.x is now. Anyone running it successfully in production environment and if so what sort of config

I whole heartedly agree. Trixbox/FreePBX are much more mature and feature rich. AsteriskNOW has greater future potential because of it's tight integration and no need for MySQL/Apache. However, it's not there yet so if I was to implement something today I would go with FreePBX. Not Trixbox but
