Hi! > 1. The spec calls for a 24 analog line system with a fairly sophisticated > response matrix using SQL into Oracle & text-to-speech (among other > things). Is Asterisk in the same class of product as Websphere, or is it > for a more straightforward "voicemail" office environment?
Not knowing the prodcut that you want to compare to: Same class. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+introduction > 2. I assume Asterisk runs on PC class servers using PCI cards for incoming > lines. Can the hardware side of a 24 line system be put together for less > than $10K, or is it typically a lot more than that? Far less. Did you inlcude the phones in those $10k? http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Hardware > 3. Can Asterisk be administered and/or programmed remotely? Yes. Even though there is still a lack of comfortable management tools a simple secure shell does it. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+GUI > 4. Is Asterisk being used by any Fortune 500 companies in mission critical > settings that you know of? No clue, people always hide their company names, but read this: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+hardware+recommendations Cheers, Philipp _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
