Leaving letigousness out of this, how far off is asterisk and app_rpt from being there and what would it take to get it to this level of reliability and stability?  a bounty may be an option as well.

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
