We are using Asterisk in K12 with similar goals. We have pretty much decided to go with it district wide. It will be a 200-400 phone installation across 9 sites. We also looking at eliminating a Centrex system (called Plexar in our area). Current status is that I have patched the * in front of our existing legacy system. This allowed testing of new phones while be got comfortable with * being stable, etc. Now I am just shopping for phones before we pull out the legacy system and start the process of moving schools off of the Centrax contract.
Something you should look at in a school setting is the Wisip wireless 802.11b phone from Pulver. We are looking at this to help reduce cellular costs and also as a possible teacher phone. -- Jonathan Moore Director of Technology Winfield Public Schools Office 620.221.5100 Fax 620.221.0508 Quoting Chris Hobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I'm investigating asterisk to use as a replacement for an aging Lucent > PBX in our district office, as well as replacing the Centrex/intercom > based systems at our schools. > > I'm curious if any other schools/districts are using asterisk?
