Can anyone suggest an alternative application I could sensibly use alongside Asterisk in a production environment to achieve this (I'm specifically looking for a way to maintain presence information for a Busy Lamp Field, and to get notifications about Voicemail events). I'm aware of both SIPp https://github.com/SIPp/sipp and SipSak https://github.com/nils-ohlmeier/sipsak, however these are (to me at least) testing scenario tools designed for "short term" use to place and receive calls, rather than maintaining long-term subscriptions to SIP accounts, waiting for notifications of events, so I'm somewhat wary about considering them for use in a production environment (by which I mean I'm looking for something which can subscribe to a few tens of SIP accounts (across several servers) and get the event notifications for those accounts, over a period of days and weeks, and pass them to my display application in almost any reasonable form). Any ideas out there? Thanks, Antony. -- I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are _obviously_ no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no _obvious_ deficiencies. - C A R Hoare Please reply to the list; please *don't* CC me.

Why run asterisk? Am I missing something?
