into the Ranch Networks solution. With a Hosted PBX, you can put the
Asterisk box at you location. Then we take a Ranch Networks box and put
it at the customers site. the Ranch Networks box does all the NAT
traversal, qos, firewall, etc. plus it will bring the media locally so you
don't have to go over the internet for simple branch to branch calls. Plus,
the ranch Networks box provides high availability or clustering if you need
that. <br>

<br>
I must agree with this having seen a 5 phone office with a hosted system<br>
over ADSL. The system was never reliable and they eventually
scrapped<br>
it and came to us. As we are in the same building, I setup their phones
<br>
on to asterisk with their own contexts, etc. and replaced their simple<br>
switch with a Linksys 224P (poe + layer3 managed). Inbound calls are<br>
presented on a ISDN BRI (ZapHFC), outbound via VoIP. The only
comment <br>
has been about the occasional slight echo.<br>
