[wellylug] Asterisk PABX - Does Any one use this?

[Chris Hodgetts]

Well, for the hardware, I am not 100% sure, 

I have a friend who works for a Telco and ISP in Auckland, who says he
got his one for home for about $70NZD, but he may have got it via a bulk
discount his co. got.

Being the phone dude at my work, I am still trying to locate Someone in
wellington who can actually give me a price on phones -- as I would like
a phone more than a soft-phone.

If I get a price, I will advise.
