One also has to keep in mind - Asterisk, like any large open-source project, gets a lot more QA, patches and bug fixes than any commercial product sold in the intra-industrial channel (i.e. excluding consumer mass-market stuff) ever will! It has a massive installed base, many users reporting bugs through an open and easy to understand process, and a large community either directly or derivatively involved in contributing fixes and testing code. How much installed base from which to harness that kind of large-scale technical feedback does Nortel have? Avaya? Cisco? Asterisk has by far the best QA mechanism. In terms of potential bugs that impact "mission-critical" availability, I would feel better using it than any of these black-box, proprietary vendor solutions any day. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (706) 338-8599 _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
