[asterisk-users] using asterisk on a shared line

[Pascal Bruno]

That's right, they say it is a PBX because it is mostly used as  such, but
it is more than just a PBX.  Some people use it as a VoiceMail tool or to
handle just conference, some use it to add functionalities to other legacy
PBX systems.  Calling cards applications for example, a plain PBX wont be
able to do that.  Thats why I dont usually refer to it as a PBX.
