Fonality Harnesses Open Source Telephony for SMBs

,----[ Quote ]
| “Asterisk consists of 200,000 lines of code,” says Lyman. “We wrote 1.3
| million lines of code. It wasn’t an overnight coding job, if you know what I
| mean. Just to put it in perspective of just how ‘thin’ Asterisk is compared
| to the code we had to write, we were 25 engineers and four years into writing
| application code, and we probably had twice as many people working on our
| product as were working on Asterisk itself. People who understand software
| know that it’s exponentially hard to make things simple in software. Asterisk
| is written in C, and a lot of our code is written in web code, so that’s
| actually written in PERL and HTML.

Fonality, Trixbox, and is Microsoft Asleep at the Wheel Again?

Car dealership uses Asterisk VoIP to stay on "cutting edge"

,----[ Quote ]
| Now that Stear's having a good experience with open source, he's
| considering adding more to the IT mix at O'Brien. "I'd like to put
| some file servers on the network without paying Microsoft all that
| licensing money," he says. He's already got Red Hat Linux on the
| two servers running Asterisk, and several traditional open source
| tools for network monitoring and administration, including MRTG
