[Asterisk-Users] RE: Asterisk Users

[Justin Hamade]

That is will be a lot of work.  
First comment I would make is the aastra's will give you issues.  I have
a shop with 30 of them and there were very problematic and a poor
speaker phone.  They are swapping all of them to polycoms.

My next question would be what are you going to use for PRI hardware?
Make sure it has good hardware echo canceling.

Good luck!

That's definitely an undertaking, I would suggest taking it a section at
a 
time.  We're currently running about 61 phones on our system, about to 
ramp up to about 1300 by mid summer, and then to about 10,000 by next 
summer.  It's definitely not something you want to do in one fell swoop,

and I agree that you definitely need to test EVERYTHING before you do 
anything.  We've been in testing for at least 6 months, and in
development 
for over a year.
