Iirc Motorola has a solution that allows in-operation linux kernel upgrades. No idea how they pulled that magic off (and if it actually works). At VON IBM was going to demo a blade based Asterisk solution that has auto-failover of calls so maybe that could also be used to upgrade software. Don't have more info about this IBM solution. If you have a DS3 or OC3 worth of TDM calls then it probably makes sense to use a carrier-class box.
