[asterisk-users] Panasonic x Asterisk if I can emulate Panasonic fast!

[C F]

Being a Panasonic dealer and having more than 50 Asterisk system in
production, I can tell you that if this is your first Asterisk
project, then go with Panasonic, you'll safe yourself lots of
aggravation and have a happier customer.

Some features of the Panasonic you will never be able to emulate on Asterisk.

While depending on the needs of that customer, and in some cases I
would suggest dive into Asterisk, I gather from the subject (yes I
have read the whole message, for those of you out there that might
think that I did not) that a Panasonic will work nicely for them,
therefore my advice stick with Panasonic.
