[Asterisk-Users] New Asterisk Implementation

[Don Brearley]

Hello,

I've been planning to replace my aging CENTREX switch with a new PBX and am seriously
considering Asterisk as my solution.

I work at a college, and we currently support just under 300 regular analog lines to
the offices and whatnot.   

I was wondering..  Is asterisk ready for such a job?  Would I be making a mistake
to deploy this across the campus at this time?  

It seems that Asterisk is extremely powerful and I absoultly love the way it appears
to integrate into almost any existing system, so it would be fantastic if I could 
deploy it successfully.

I do understand that I would need to replace all of my existing telephones with VoIP-capable
phones, and that I'll need to re-wire most of the campus telephone infrastructure (it's still
all cat-3) -- these arent problems.   

I just want to be sure that it's possible to do this, and that im not wasting my time.

Thanks for any insight provided!
