Hardly a fortune.
If I were looking for a home system I would agree with you (and I also agree with the sentiment expressed by numerous posters that Digium deserves all the support it gets), and I am glad that you have no trouble spending $310 on your home system.
I am doing technical support for a non-profit K12 school serving aid workers, refugees and others of relatively low income. I cannot spend a lot of money on investigating new technology; I need to do my investigation and testing on a shoestring budget.
I realize that a commercial ip-pabx (or really any commercial pbx) would cost much more; (a) that is why I am looking at asterisk; (b) I would not need to test anything; I'd buy it, and if something doesn't work it's the vendor's problem, not mine.

True. And for that reason I wish Digium all the best, and will buy my production hardware from them. When I have tested the system and become sufficently familiar, using hardware I can afford. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
