As stated in my other reply, this is very much untrue. There are no fixes applied to ABE (or new features, for that matter) that don't originate from CVS HEAD.

I've just not been impressed with Digium's behaviour lately.  They've
gotten quite hostile over Sangoma hardware lately, claiming that Sangoma
(by continuing to develop, refine, and expand their hardware lines,
which are much older than asterisk, and which asterisk was originally
developed on) are just ripping them off.  If anything, Digium is ripping
people off with hardware which is inferior (though I've seen claims that
they have some good new stuff coming - excellent!).

Exactly where did you hear that Asterisk was "originally developed on Sangoma hardware"? Nothing could be farther from the truth; the very earliest Asterisk code supported some funky Voice-over-Frame-Relay hardware, then it was modified to support the Zapata hardware from the Zapata open source hardware group. Digium has never had any drivers for Sangoma hardware, and still doesn't. Any Asterisk support for Sangoma hardware has been built by Sangoma.

And yes, we do have some exciting new hardware in the works... we hope that you all will be as happy to buy/use it as we are to develop it!
