color=#0000ff size=2> I work for a financial company and if Asterisk was
presented to me originally as product for pay my CFO would tell me to jump
in a lake before allowing me to invest into a no name product. However as
open source I installed it and integrated it into our existing Avaya IP
platform. My CFO loves it and has given me the green light to buy server
hardware, telephony cards, phones, etc since he sees the benefit. Recently
Avaya presented their SIP server to us and the answer was "sorry we already have
Asterisk". We are also budgeting for Digium support. The open source
release with paid support clearly works in a corporate
environment.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=125335117-24052006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> In reality "buy me because I built it
and it has features" doesn't hold much value when you are a no name with no
track record. I was just saying given a choice I would expect the on
going financial rewards supporting open source would out weigh a one time
low ball purchase.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
