[Mac-telephony-list] Does anyone have any experience conecting asterisk/openPBX to a PRI ?

[John P Matznick via List]

As I stated Ed, in MY opinion, all of the Mac IP PBXs wether they are  
1/2 way there or 90% there are not yet ready for real world people  
supporting a business. It is not yet "turn key" and to many opinions  
on how it should be done on the OS X.
I am taking a wait and see approach to this. Linux based "turn Key"  
IP PBXs have been around for many many years and only get better.  
There are some really nice contingency and backup support for these  
systems now. I see 99.95% uptime on these.
I would however watch out for those "turn key boxes" that limit  
extensions and have heavy licensing fees associated with them like  
TalkSwitch.
Is that good enough for you?? We have been doing VoIP of all flavors  
since 1993 and proprietary telecom since 1985 so from a business  
standpoint  I think I know what I am talking about.
