Spawning a process for each call / endpoint is how almost every large phone switchboard does it. See also: Erlang The Movie:

Erlang's definition of a process is a much lighter weight than Linux's, though.

In deed this has been suggested to me by other people (of course _after_ discussing above software with them :). Yet I believe siproc still has a few benefits to offer, most notably not having to set up/build a full PBX to run it.

Who uses Erlang in telephony besides Ericsson?

AFAIK Motorola does (did?) too.
