Interesting question, Paul. I can't answer it, but I have an opinion about the future leverage of asterisk solutions. As someone said recently (or should have if no one did) call cost per minute is approaching zero in many areas. It's all about services now. The main advantage of asterisk is the configurability and extensibility, particularly in the SoHo 2 to 25 seat market. I feel that your strongest push would be to sell the "mobility" buzzword, how everyone is reachable no matter where they are, via a single contact number, all the bells and whistles something like asterisk can be programmed/configured to offer. Naturally, the need to replace a pbx will always generate a window of opportunity to say "but why buy your Dad's pbx? Get something that's both cheaper AND better!" Good luck! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
