Asterisk 1.4.x runs on Mac OSX reasonably well, but 1.4.11 is an ancient
release in the 1.4.x series. Asterisk is also not a 'SIP server' in the
sense you are probably thinking of; it's a multi-protocol back-to-back
user agent that supports SIP (among other protocols). It can certainly
be used to provide services, applications and call routing to SIP
clients. If you are installing a brand new system, it would be highly
recommended to consider the 1.6.2.x release series, as that is the
latest release with the most features available.
