We loaded Asterisk on a old 600 MHX CPU that was on the floor of the shop, and wat impressed us the most is the ability of the box to interconnect to other Asterisk boxes in its native protocol as soon as you boot up the unit.
There is number that let you ring the Digium unit and call their support personnel as soon as your box finish booting your unit.
I guess Quintum could take note, selling their units pre-programed where you plug the unit and call for support from the box itself in seconds.
And all that from a company that gives away the sotware for free.
