I agree Tim, my first foray into pro was a little disappointing. The same experience as trying to communicate directly with Fonality. I think that the centrally managed iPBX platform certainly has merit though.<br><br>We, along with our business partners are implementing a hosted iPBX offering here in Australia using Asterisk, Interactive Intelligence and an Alcatel solution. This will be based on the model that says that where possible handsets register to the core over a managed data service, on site proxy's will be used only for redundancy and high user availability. This addresses the extra cost component in the main. We also provide proxy registration by using a gateway (GSM) that also has this function built in. CE is a great product and I understand the value of central management of back-up files so we will deliver this as well.
