Thanks for the info... The box looks very interesting. It looks like I'd still void a warranty if I used it though. :-) I'm OK with voiding warranties and pushing limits, but I wonder if anyone else has tried it an what the outcome was. I also wonder if there's something out there from a different manufacturer that is designed spcifically to support my requirements.
Thanks Again. > On Thu, Mar 01, 2012 at 05:35:34PM -0700, Nunya Biznatch wrote: >> Howdy All, >> >> I'm considering Asterisk / Digium as a replacement to my existing phone >> switch.
