>i am just curious how many * systems are in the real world with more than one user.  do you run a certain version?  you dont update CVS do you?  any admins running a system of over twenty?  over fifty?  over one-hundred?

I am an admin of a real world Asterisk system.  About 96 anlog devices as in dial up modem lines, Faxes and just plain phone extensions.  We are now starting to bridge our off site offices with this system.  It's very good but hard to configure at the beginning.  It it had better documentation this would be a system far ahead of the Nortel's out there. But since it does not it's hard to configure and maintain!  But once you learn the system it starts to get easier.
