[asterisk-users] A question about an install i have been asked about...

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

I will add one thing.  Parking might be a little problematic out of
the box.  If you don't have problems using a patch that is not in the
main branch, there is a valet parking patch that would handle this
without any problems.

On the other hand, if the companies do not have to be 100% separate,
it might not be an issue.  The only issue you would have is if someone
at company A parked a call and it went to 701.  Company B parks a call
and it goes to 702.  Company B could pick up 701 and Company A could
pick up 702.

That may not be a problem in your environment.  That's the only catch
I can think of.  We have multiple companies sharing multiple
employees, with some employees overlapping and others that don't.  I
haven't seen anything other than Asterisk that would work for us.
