I know what a few friends who work/study in the astrophysics department of a university half an hour up the road from me would rather have - their new "carrier grade" switch built under a rigid CMM, etc. fails about once a month right now. Recently it was because it was start of term and it couldn't handle the additional call-load. They used to forward me emails from their support department as a bit of a joke, but they've stopped doing it now as it's way beyond a joke. They paid their money, took their chance with a full-commercial system and blew-it. I just wish I could get in there now, but it's too "political" a situation for an outsider to get anywhere. Whats equally annoying is that their"Innovations Centre" (a sort of business "incubator" unit for graduates) has a very clever Asterisk system installed, but the main university seems oblivious to it all.
