[App_rpt] progress and stability of asterisk and app_rpt

[Steve Rodgers]

My personal opinion, is that you would probably be better off buying a 
solution from someone who you could hold accountable should the system fail 
at the worst possible moment. Sometimes there are reasons for going with a 
proprietary and costly solution. I believe your application is one where this 
would be the prudent thing to do.
