[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk success stories in small-mediumoffice environments?

[Jeffrey Paul]

I'm not really looking for working configurations as much as I am
looking for people who can say "This is a solid product and I trust my
business to a solution running Asterisk."

As far as pre-sales work... Well, tell that to my consultant.

I'm quite excited about *.  I've got my company sold on it, they just
want some reassurance that it's ready for prime-time production use.  I
can't think of a better way than printing out an email from John Q.
Officemanager saying "It works great, I love it!".

While you approached the community in a very polite way and all, your
few weeks of *-users list should have told you that most answer should
be able to be found on the wiki.
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+hardware+recommendations
This has a few listings of working systems.

Also, that should really be the type of pre sales work up a consultant
would do for you. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+consultants

See, use the Wiki.
