Hi Thomas<br>
<br>
Asterisk is "real" as it gets. It has many very powerful features and
long <br>
learning time too.<br>
It gets deployed (at least in our case) from few to thousands users, from<br>
SOHO to Enterprise organisations all over the world.<br>
<br>
It also sometime has compatibility issue or luck of traditional Telco <br>
features at times with some deployments. However nothing that a competent<br>
experienced company can not deal with.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hi Thomas:<br>
<br>
We're been using asterisk in multiple VOIP, PRI and SS7 based deployments of
16-E1 all over the place and more (thats 496 simultaneous channels for the alaw
challenged folk). We regularly do upwards of a few million minutes per month
per basic double xeon box, connecting to BT, Verizon, Colt, France Telecom, and
lots of other providers. <br>
<br>
As Senad rightly said, it takes a little doing, but its good for it does ... <br>
<br>
Soon I want to start clustering these and get above the 128E1 figure ...
that'll be fun, I'm someone or the other has already done this, but no news as
such publicly <br>
<br>
asterisk in big companies, is old news :)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
