After I wrote that I realized I had mis-typed.  I'm running Freeswitch.  
It's a new (relatively) pbx that's a vast improvement over Asterisk.  
It's cleaner and has almost all the same features.  The developers are 
independent folks and not backed by a company like Asterisk is.  If 
anyone is really looking for a pbx solution and wants to invest a bit of 
time, it's worth a serious look.  I think Sangoma support for FS is 
better than for Asterisk.

I enjoyed your post.  You make some good points.

Oh and I can recommend Sangoma hardware.  Their support is outstanding.  
How many companies have support staff that will log into your computer 
and help you diagnose the problems with their hardware?  Even though it 
was a configuration issue, Sangoma support did that for me without charge.
