Maybe the problems are due to software bug in one of the packages or drivers. I have installations with 30-40 phones on a net5501 and have no crashes for many years. The paging could be a problem, are the crashes occur shortly after paging? You could install AstLinux in a VMWare environment and then misuse the net5501 just as a SIP-to-ISDN gateway, if the Berofix is a PCI card and not in an external box.
