So now it begs the question -- why use a BCM where the price starts at a
few thousand dollars, when you can deploy a system beyond the wildest
dreams of a BCM on a $200 refurb PC, with the appropriate FXO and/or T1
cards or related technologies. Asterisk is here to stay, and as much
as the big telcos hate to admit the power of Asterisk and Open Source
... this is a new revolution. Opensource VoIP today, is what the
Internet was yesterday. Its a Hot Cake. Gaining RAPID momentum and
recognition each day.
So you as a Nortel BCM expert -- would you join the Asterisk
revolution? If not, why not? And what can a BCM do, that Asterisk can't?
You'd have to ask that in a Nortel forum to get the kind of responses
you're looking for :-)
