You are completely wrong!

Last 4 years, I installed/programmed 6 Panasonic (KXTD1232, 3x TA308,
TDA100, TEM824) in our offices. Until now, I don't completely understand
them. Their GUI software is really bad. The functions are awfully
limited. Manuals are poor. Mailing lists with helpful people there is
not.

Less than a week ago (friday), bought 3FXS, 1FXO with SIP
(sipura/linksys), and KNOW NOTHING ABOUT asterisk. Today, I emulated
almost all features we use (account codes, DISA, own dial plans), and I
can really say: ASTERISK WORKS INCREDIBLE!

I even programmed an AGI script, which injects a variable to
extensions.conf; on the other hand, that means I can reboot a server
from my cellphone, isn't that incredible? 
now, I dont' know how, but 99% I'm sure I can trigger a phonecall when
one server is offline. Only with asterisk. I'm almost sure a Panasonic
can't emulate this features. Maybe with some expensive software.

Then, I'm going to suggest 30 Voip phones, 2 8xFXO digium. I made an
informal presentation yesterday, the people were amused. Thanks the
people (thanks, peru guys) which guided me. Good luck everybody, I'll
keep asking on this list, sorry.

No more panasonic for me :)

Newbies, ask how to start.
