I have been running asterisk 1.2 (various flavors, currently 1.2.24) on a PPC MacMini running 10.4 (various flavors, currently 10.4.11). Other than an issue with DTMF that cropped up when my VoIP provider upgraded to 1.4 and is worked around by using inband tones (using g711 so encoding tones not a problem).

I am configured to use SIP for everything (a SPA-841 telephone, a SPA3000, a PAPT-2 in house and e164 lookups as well as my VoIP provider). Since I am behind a firewall, I have the MacMini Asterisk server relay all the voice from my inside phone adaptors to either the e164 endpoint or my VoIP provider's proxy. This makes my firewall setup easy (all SIP and RTP ports forwarded to my Asterisk server).

Again v1.2 branch releases have worked well for me.

Anyway, I have attempted to upgrade to the current 1.4 branch of Asterisk (various versions up to 1.4.13) and run into a number of show stoppers. The worst of which is broken up sound, not when the end point was in Asterisk (i.e. voice mail) but when the sound is being relayed through Asterisk. However there are also issues with the remote console spontaneously quitting and crashes on reloading of parameters, updating registration when an IP address changes, etc. I see a number of bug reports on the Digium site that cover most of these issues and a number of other bugs that I have not experienced.

My question: Is anyone successfully running a 1.4 branch version of Asterisk on a Macintosh 10.4 (or even 10.5) system?

If so, which version(s) work for you and did you have any special setups that were required to make it work?
