my $0.02...
 
I have implemented [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0.9 in a Real Estate/Legal office with 6 phones and 3 incoming lines using TDM04B card and Polycom/Sipura phones.
 
I am about to implement 3 more systems ([EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.3) for a construction company.  One will be 6 phones and 4 PSTN lines using SPA-3000 ATA's.  The second will be 2x TDM04B connecting to 6 lines to start with 10 Polycom IP-501 phones.  The third system has not yet been designed. but will be 4 lines and 6 - 7 phones.
 
The Real Estate system is running [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0.9 and has been running for 59 days since the last reboot, which I did when I added the Polycom phones.  This is a fairly light-use system averaging about 1700 minutes/mo in usage.  It is setup to have an Auto-Attendant when no one is present and to have the phones answered live when the receptionist is at her desk.  I setup a "* + number" code for the receptionist to dial to toggle the Auto-attendant.
 
As of yet I have not run into any problems running the one system in production, and we are confident in the other 3 systems that are about to be implemented.  The systems that will be implemented soon will have pretty high call volume, as these are for a construction job trailers on pretty large scale projects.
 
I started off by exploring Asterisk and actually built a couple of test systems without using [EMAIL PROTECTED].  I was able to figure out the configurations and actually had no problems setting up the test systems (for me it was pretty simple even though I had never touched linux before).  I created a set of config files that I was going to copy from server to server to aid the implementation, and I was ready to build the server for the Real Estate office... 
 
Then, I ran across [EMAIL PROTECTED] and after playing with it a little bit determined that it provided a quicker setup process and provided all the features that we would need.  Clearly, there are some things that are easier to do without [EMAIL PROTECTED] due to the limitations provided by AMP... but I have found that for these small office implementations, this has not been an issue.
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Difference between Asterisk and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello
What is the difference between these 2 version of Asterisk in terms of functionality.
For a small office am I going to run into problems if I use the easy version...
