<p class=MsoNormal>Call their bluff and ask for documentation on who has done
the &quot;forbidding&quot; and why.<br>
<br>
I know that at least one major FX trading firm uses Asterisk globally.<br>
<br>
Both Cisco and Nortel know something about VoIP systems.<br>
Both started with theirs sitting on MS Windows.<br>
Both have migrated their PBXs to *nix.<br>
Wonder why?<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>We have been approached by a brokerage firm to upgrade their
phone system to VoIP and presented Asterisk as a solution. Our competition is
pushing Microsoft's system and states that Asterisk is forbidden in the
industry especially following last year's FBI warning. Anybody have
clarification on this? Hoping they are wrong. <o:p></o:p></p>
