My company is testing it for production deployment. I think it's likely
we will upgrade to it because of the timer work in OpenPBX. We only use
SIP, and want to run it in Xen, so getting rid of zaptel dependacy is a
nearly a killer app for us all by itself.

I made a .deb for internal use, and noted that the various directory
paths couldn't all be set by configure. That's a nuisense to packagers,
and will cause groups like Debian to maintain patches just to do that.
It works well with Ubuntu 5.10.

The library dependacies are a pain, especially spandsp.
One thing that could certainly use work is documentation.
