[asterisk-users] Replacing PBX with Asterisk, need feedback on my new architecture.

[Anton Kvashenkin]

Don't blame me guys, but if you are a new to VOIP and aint't using asterisk
for a while, checkout freeswitch (freeswitch.org). Also do not forget at
least about this
http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.6.x/load_balancer.html for
loadbalance to your pbx boxes. Just my 2 cents.
