This is a typical scenario with so many companies who fail to recognize that
they need to take asterisk deployment seriously. I have seen so many of
these companies since 2004, since when I am in this industry. Many of them
don't want to spend money on right hardware, bandwidth and or the right
consultant.

Silly. My guess is that someone that doesn't know anything about phones
decided to install it and failed. Lots of erroneous statements:
" Asterisk because it required a custom-built server" - Nope. You can
pretty much use any old server or really even a desktop machine for an
install this small.
" Bandwidth maxed out" - Nope. Hosted would use way more bandwidth than a
local * box. Hosted requires all calls, internal, voicemail, local, LD, etc
to all traverse the Internet connection. A local * box would mean only
local or LD would go out that way, so internal, voicemail would never hit
the Internet.
" DID, never worked" - Not sure what their issue is, but this is the first
thing I setup when I started with * in the pre 1.0 days and it just worked
and that was the first IP telephony experience I ever had.
They probably thought they were going to save lots of money by going the
cheap route and not getting any external help and it didn't work that way.
$500-$1000 of outside consulting from someone that knows * probably would
have fixed all of their issues.
