I know a company that sells a non Asterisk, Hosted SIP solution. Their sales pitch is
"Do you really want open source?? So some terrorist can enter your system thru a backdoor and
take over your pbx??"

Sounds funny, but some people buy it.

Thats why I think it would be beneficial for all of us, if we could put together a list
of major asterisk based installations. Whenever a potential customer repeats some of the competitions scare tactics
just refer him to that list :-)

We have been approached by a brokerage firm to upgrade their phone  
system to VoIP and presented Asterisk as a solution. Our competition  
is pushing Microsoft's system and states that Asterisk is forbidden  
in the industry especially following last year's FBI warning.  
Anybody have clarification on this? Hoping they are wrong.

Thanks!

David -
Nonsense.  Ask them for documentation.  As far as I am aware, this is  
pure myth.  In fact, Digium has a partner whose primary business  
involves installing Asterisk-based systems in brokerage houses.
