Why do these IT guys refuse to deal with real phone service providers? You never hear of them getting service from QWest or Verizon or even a CLEC. It's always some unknown fly-by-night service provider that nobody's ever heard of. It's bad enough that they think their rinky-dink systems are so great, but when coupled with an unknown carrier, they end up with a real toybox on their hands. What happens?
The whole thing fails miserably and they end up scrapping it. That being said, the small guy will never see an opportunity to sell them anything. The management will insist upon not making the same mistake twice and only buy the replacement system from the big guys.

I like his reasoning on why he went with Cisco phones instead of Polycom: "Ohh, it's a Cisco".
There goes cisco surviving on brand-name recognition again. The only thing their phones have going for them is sexy good looks.
While I will debate whether or not Asterisk is a 'toybox', I whole hearted agree with what Ed said about the VoIP crowd in general.
If you approach it like it's a toybox, then that is definately what it will be.

Not to hijack your thread, but here is a link to an interesting group of guys who are using Asterisk for a unique application: https://www.ckts.info/ The * boxes are used as Class 4 (tandem) offices, with Electromechanical switches as the Class 5's. Trunking to all points on the globe is via the internet.

Yeah... Sangoma usually has a demonstration set-up in their booth that has one of the old hand-crank phones hooked up to asterisk. Crank it and it connects. It's part of their testing lab where they supposively have thousands of telephone handsets and other gear that they do regression testing on for their PSTN cards. I've been thinking of throwing together an asterisk box on an old machine and letting everyone here connect to it for grins. Not sure who would really care tho. Plus who really wants one more thing to check/etc. Ok, back from the Hijack...

I feel lucky if I find CG or "Master" electrician's wiring that winds up with the white/brown pair intact.
Generally, I find line 1 on the Green/Orange pair, line 2 on the Blue/Brown pair, and all the white "neutrals" twisted together with a big wire nut.
If it's a house with 20 or 30 jacks, it can take all day to straighten the crosstalk out.
