asterisk users - Mar 2007 - Dropped calls in Asterisk - A general question

Hey all, I have a question for those administrating/building out
systems with over 30 users on them. How often do you experience
the dropped call phenomena. Would you care to share your
experiences including what versions of * you were using, what
kind of connectivity was present (T1, Fractional T, Intergrated T,
DSL, Cable). Echo? Solutions? (e.g. we bought an X_Brand Echo
Canceller).

Also, which phones most found favorable with Asterisk on a full
functional level. Not "Polycoms because they're so neat!" Or:
"Cisco rocks!". Something more to the tune of "X_Brand phones
worked well with Asterisk 1.2.xx for 70 users on a Data T. We
had an X_Brand switch which did/didn't do PoE running Asterisk
on a SuperX_Brand server with X amount of memory.

Any response is appreciated as long as its something productive.
No "My SuperX_Brand system has a new logo and a shiny silver box
that the vendor states `surpasses unforseen functionality due to
hyperbolic hooplah blah blah`. Short, sweet effective. Thanks.

I've got 415 phones, mostly Cisco 7960's. The only time I see
dropped calls is when either end hangs up, or I restart asterisk. Using
all T1 PRI. 

HW mainly: Dell 1750 w/2GB, Digium TE410 or TE412P's. Raid1 w/PERC.
I use Dell 1950's for the VM servers, but anything with a Digium card is
a Dell 1750.
