Thanks, I've bookmarked it. The only possible issue (I quickly read
the article) is that, by emphasizing software applications I hope they
don't break the TDM hardware interoperability. That's one of the main
attractions of Asterisk for me. I can use it as a standard
(traditional) telephone switch if I want. But I have heard of the
Asterisk bottleneck before. Not a problem for the smaller keys systems
that I'm thinking about, but I can see where it can be an issue when
going bigger. (I'm still on the surface of all of this -- so I'm just
going by stuff that I've read, not by personal experience.)
