When I wrote about Cisco Call Manager Express earlier I completely blanked on Asterisk! Asterisk is a GNU OpenBSD IP PBX application. It's a free download and supports all the popular VoIP protocols (SCCP, MGCP, H.323 and SIP) plus it claims to support Cisco phones. From Asterisk's website it looks like the product supports many of the most popular PBX features and runs on various flavors of Linux and Unix.
http://www.asterisk.org/ My customers have all been big enterprises who, if interested in VoIP, have voice & data networking staff to support VoIP and aren't afraid to buy an Avaya, Cisco, or Nortel IP PBX - the VoIP equivalent of "big iron." Full disclosure: I own Cisco stock but have no financial interest at all in Asterisk. Maybe someone on the list has some experience with Asterisk or its competitors. -Mike __________________ Michel David Lowe Purcellville, VA ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
