play in the soft-switch area. The biggest issue stopping Asterisk having
redundancy and scalability using sip is the inability to work with just
about any sip device without "canreinvite" turn off. If Asterisk could
handled reinvites correctly you could setup fallback and/or redundant
gateways to the PSTN network. Making it a shoe in for large installs.
As it is Asterisk just can not scale from a Voip perspective.
SER would need to have some kind of PSTN trans-coding. But it can scale!
Vocal has the redundancy and scalability, but no "real" PSTN trans-coding. also Vocal also has serious quality control issues.
So of the big three free, yeah Asterisk would be a good place to start. Although Vocal on paper is a little better though out. Asterisk has a lot more working features.
But I would bet money IBM uses none of the above. <smile>

Asterisk has got to be about the best kept secret in telephony. I've seen numerous articles on slashdot about VoIP, even in relation to Linux and only *once* has the post even mentioned Asterisk. Am I missing something, or is Asterisk clearly a good potential player in any kind of linux-based soft-switch idea?
