[Asterisk-Users] Where to start?

[Ed Mansouri]

Hello,

The goal would be to minimize the expenditure on new equipment, and
utilize as much of the existing equipment as possible, so I guess it just
depends on what the requirements of working with an open source PBX are.
The current desktop phones are pretty sophisticated and provide a lot of
functionality the preference would be to continue to employ them.

Thank you in advance for your insight.
Ed
