[Asterisk-biz] D-Link DVX-1000

[Colin Anderson]

$1500 US! No ATA! For 15 hund, it's quite doable to make a real Asterisk PBX
to scale to 100 users with a single port t1 & 4 FXS (your cost there, though
and of course you would have to configure it yourself, but with AMP and/or
A at H that's not too much pain.). Same Asterisk box for $4K it's compelling to
a business + decent margin for you. Also contrast this with a big-boy
solution, at 10X the price + yearly "assurance" (read:protection racket)

I was expecting $299 list. 

Cool idea but I don't think anyone should be shaking in their boots, yet.
