<DIV><SPAN class=152565310-20042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am just about the
embark on a technology pilot of Asterisk. The structure of the network is that
we have one main office with a 100Mb pipe to an ISP who hosts various systems in
a central data centre. They also provide us with a private IPVPN network to
about 350 sites. The links to these sites are 512Kb 50:1 ADSL at present. The
purpose of the pilot at present is just to prove the technology and decide what
we need to do with our infrastructure to support VoIP. I have a couple of
questions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=152565310-20042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. What is the
largest Asterisk deployment to date? If the pilot is successful we are looking
at about 100-150 users in a Head Office and about 500-600 users on the remote
sites, plus about 50 other mobile users coming in across the
internet.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=152565310-20042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. An I crazy even
to consider this?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=152565310-20042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Has anyone got
any experience of doing this sort of thing and any experiences they can share
with me?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=152565310-20042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am sure that there
are many other questions, but these are a start.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
