[Asterisk-Users] 911 and lawsuits and redundancy

[Jonathan Moore]

This is esp true of any VoIP PBX system. In fact I think many of them run Windows.

I do have a related question about how * users are creating redundancy in thier
setups? I am going live in a few days with a single office setup where I have
patched the * PBX in front of our existing legacy phone system, giving us auto
attendent and voice mail, plus the potential to do a large scale test of IP
phones. If successful the next step is a 150-400 station multi-office setup.
Most calls are inter-building such that we currently only need 6 outbound lines
to the PSTN.
