<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">About 75% of story except faulty card
is due to lack of experiance in Telco and VoIP bussiness.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are running about 12 asterisk servers
in out global network, and hardly has any problems. Below are some points
of our experiance.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1 We
only use E1 quad span card (yes they are expensive but it does the job
very well)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2 Overall
we are terminating around 6 million minutes every months throguh asterisk
network, we do have echo some times but they mostly due to huge
volume. To keep our system in optimal condition
we performed maintnance every forthnight. They way system keeps smooth.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3 We
still using kernel 2.4 becuase 2.6 has lots of problems and only the stable
version works well.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4 H323
has some issue so we decided to put seperate h323 and sip gateway for interconnection
instead of wasting time.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">5 Most
of the cheap brand phones does not implement SIP RFC very well that why
you will find most of the key did not work on cheap phones like
grandstream
and others. We have our own phones developed and all of the SIP functions
works very well with asterisk, we also have tested snom as
well and found no problem.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Infact we have saves huge $$$ by implementing
Asterisk in out network, </font>
