Switchvox 4.x is based on the Asterisk Business Edition C.3 codebase, which itself is Asterisk 1.4 plus a number of backports from later versions of open source Asterisk. In addition, it contains some Switchvox-specific changes, but I don't believe there's anything that would affect SIP compatibility or interoperability in any material way. However, some providers will only certify 'known' releases of software, so it's easier for them to do that with something like Switchvox, since if the customer has Switchvox 4.5 (for example), that's a known quantity. If the customer has 'Asterisk', or even 'Asterisk 1.4', that could be one of many different versions, and could potentially have significant patches applied... which makes it more difficult for the provider to be comfortable that it will 'just work'. -- Kevin P.
