font-family:Arial'>After our department went to using *, I’ve had several
inquiries about doing <span class=SpellE>VoIP</span> for my entire organization
(Small county). We have ~10 locations with various links in between (Mostly p2p
T1s, some Frame (1.544mbps commit), some ISDN, <span class=GramE>some</span>
VPN over 768kbit internet) Right now we’re using several NEC Electra
Elite systems, and 2 Nortel Meridian systems. In one of the main locations we
have 29 POTS lines going into the NEC system. At another location we have a
single PRI, and at a lot of the other locations we have just analog phones. Cisco
has approached us about using all Cisco equipment, but their idea is going to
be costly. Is it wise to use Asterisk on something this big? I am not a
PBX/Voice <span class=GramE>guy,</span> I just do IP up here right now. Any
tips, pointers, design guides, or advice to give?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
