[asterisk-biz] Large System

[Aaron Daniel]

That's pretty much the reason we're not going with converters in our 
installation.  It's cheaper for us to drop the money on all new sip phones 
and replace all the digital sets, then it would be to buy the converters 
and then convert the digital sets over to actual ip phones later on. 
It's a cost analysis that some companies will find is better, and some 
won't :)
