+1 (++good) for a maintained BSD port.

but draw the line at slowaris or other nasty *nix. there’s a reason AIX is a homonym of “aches”.

alternatively, go the IncrediblePBX route, call it “embedded” and pack it into a VM.

ideally, both … if embedded BSD is good enough for StatSeeker, pfSense, or FreeNAS; it’s good enough for us! LOL.

by some unfathomable logic, packing up something into an OVF container (along with replacing bash with busybox, and tossing phone-home/updates into a cron job) is an acceptable way to avoid the political agony of introducing Obs into some brain-dead enterprise ‘doze-only shops that forbid OpenSores.

ps adam — suggest any future “enterprise" license (if any) should be $8,500/year for those types (under $10k tax-in, so you stay at the discretion boundary of 1st-level budget approvers).  

Plus another 30% for next-business-day email “support” maintenance.  

Otherwise, they’ll think you’re just kidding.  (keep it the Exact Same Thing as the svn version, but it just costs more … because somehow, that makes it legitimate! )

$0.02
