[Asterisk-Users] Getting a good deal on a PRI

[Michael D Schelin]

If you feel your pots lines are critical to your business then you 
should keep them. 

What I want is the flexibility and features * gives me, with the
reliability of land lines

Then why do you need a PRI?  You can use a channel bank to convert to 
PRI if you have DID's. There is a lot you can do to get calls into the 
asterisk box. But if you feel you need the best reliability why use 
asterisk.  I don't feel it's 100% yet either.  It's good, but now you 
have another source of possible failure.  No more or no less than VOIP.  
I'm a service provider and  yes we have failures once an awhile but I 
can tell you  in about a year or so that will be a thing of the past.
