With a name like that I can't see even mentioning it to a customer with a straight face. The Millennium Generation would be the only ones to take it seriously.

Wow, if someone is hell-bent on having 100% IP, Iwatsu and Vertical (Vodavi) offer systems that can be configured that way by only using one card. When the customer realizes their mistake, they can always buy cards and digital phones for future expansion.
Sorry, but "Tribox" sounds too much like "Toybox" to me.

Trix are made for kids.............silly rabbit. :rofl:
Sorry couldn't help myself. I've never heard of Trixbox so I can't really say any thing pro or con. But I would really check them out before selling it to a customer.

How does one get "certified" on an open source product?

One goes to certification class. Not a great name, but you can't judge a whole prduct on the name they've chosen.

You think not? The customer will! Just goes to show the stupidity here. Like I said, either it's a bunch of juveniles who don't know any better or it is being marketed to a bunch of juveniles. Apparently they were playing with their video games during marketing 101.

You will have your customers judging by the name of the manufacturer that you are trying to sell. We have worked our way down to being just a vertical/vodavi dealer but when we go out to look at a job for a bid, people haven't heard of it. Ask them what they are looking for they say how does it compare to avaya. If you are selling something that is not a household name get ready for some reluctance even if you show a good demo.

Like I said, you can't judge a product by it's name. If it turns out to be a great system trust me we'll get people to see past it's name. If it turns out to be shi* then we're wasting our time with a product with a dumb name. But that's for us to find out.
Name rec is a different subject, I personally would have liked to go with a big name system but we didn't.

We know better than most you can't judge by name alone however you have clients that like you said want the newest greatest thing that they read about in a magazine and it's going to have a well known name. I'm just saying be ready for hesitation on the clients part.

Never heard of them. We love selling against a unknown product.
