I am looking to install a new PBX into a small business. We have 18 internal extensions, and 6 phone lines. I have been looking at Asterisk as a possible solution and would like to hear from people already using it. Digium recommended I post to this list for responses. My questions are simple: 1) Do you like working with Asterisk and do you recommend it? 2) Is it reliable? Are there any issues with dropped calls? 3) Is the quality of the service good? 4) How long have you been using Asterisk? Anyone willing to help me by sharing their experience would be appreciated.
