could be dist-upgraded between versions.

Thanks for the reply! Keep in mind, I'm wanting to go from vanilla
Asterisk 1.0.x to AsteriskNOW 3 -- or Asterisk 11 + FreePBX. This will
be on all new hardware -- which I guess actually answers my question
regarding the feasibility of an in-place upgrade. From what I can tell,
my only choice will be to rebuild the configuration that is currently in
the 1.0.x install using AsteriskNOW/Asterisk+FreePBX. Probably won't be
fun :/
Any insight on failover solutions?

Hello all. I was hoping someone out there might have some advice or
suggestions regarding an upgrade from an archaic Asterisk version.
I've been given the daunting task of upgrading a very old
Asterisk-1.0.x install to a recent LTS version. I'll also need the
install to have high-availability and failover support.
From my research, it would appear that AsteriskNOW-3.0 might be my best
bet, as it seems to be running Asterisk-11. I've previously installed
Asterisk-11+FreePBX in a VM, and this appears to be very similar. Is
there any upside to using AsteriskNOW vs. Asterisk+FreePBX? Other than
the obvious fact that everything is nicely placed on an iso for ease of
installation?
As for the actual upgrade, is it possible to step through each of the
UPGRADE*.txt files under the Asterisk-11 source? I.e, UPGRADE-1.2.txt
-> UPGRADE-1.4.txt -> UPGRADE-1.6.txt -> UPGRADE-1.8.txt ->
UPGRADE.txt? Or would it be prudent to recreate my current 1.0.x
configuration under Asterisk-11 instead?
Regarding HA/failover, is a hardware solution (such as Digium's
R800/R850) my only option? During my research I've found scripts on
the internet that allow for failover using arp/nmap, however those
appear to only work for hardware failures. I would need something that
can account for both hardware and software failures.
Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone can give on the subject.
Any suggestions, etc. would help immensely!
