That's my point; $2000 seems to be the "average" Asterisk system these days... Now mind you if you use a new T100P and a used (Ebay) Adit600 you can hit $1000 easily -- I have zero qualms with selling the used Adit600s because I have a few onhand with modules and controllers to swap out when/if something fails, but I've not had a failure yet. Hell even with new equipment you want spares *on hand* -- I learned this lesson about 3 years ago with a Carrier Access M13 (DS3 Mux) -- we had a controller fail and the hot backup failed immediately after. Carrier Access sent us a new controller up immediately but it got lost by UPS (seriously) -- they sent another out but that was a really really sick three or four days... your entire DS3 down and nothing to do about it. New or used, you want equipment *on hand* to replace in case of failure, and the used marketplace shouldn't shy anyone away, especially in the telecom world. I've easily purchased over US$100k in equipment from ebay (AS5248s, the M13, DSLAMs, MaxTNTs, managed switches, SDSL modems, laptops, you name it) over the years and have never been screwed. -A. _______________________________________________ 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
