Maybe not a x86, but it is a computer. > Agreed, Guess I should have said "traditional computer". Most PBXs would only use a hard drive for voice mail. A hard drive failure would not cause the PBX to stop working. Also, with something like Asterisk that is changing so often, there is always the possibility of a typo that is not discovered until you need to use one of those rarely used features like calling 911. Most business would have lots of cell phones around but in many metal building they do not work. They also don't provide the address information that a land line phone provides. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
