Isn't that a bit harsh? Just because a client is yet to understand the
importance of a proper system doesn't mean that he/she is a wanna be loser. It
simply makes them in need of good advice. Furthermore, simply charging more
does not make one consultant better than the next.

Even greater than asterisk know how is customer service. Honestly it isn't
dificult to configure asterisk to play the part of standard PBX.

If its merely a matter of you get what you pay for, why would you advise a
client to go with an asterisk solution anyway. In that simple model, clearly a
Cisco/Avaya/Nortel solution would be much better.
