Asterix article makes me cautious about experiment

Asterisk is free software that lets you create a fully functional, easily customizable, private branch exchange (PBX). Businesses like Asterisk because they can save money by using it, and because it is open source, they can add functionality to it easily and inexpensively. Asterisk is also becoming popular with home office users — so much so that it spawned a new project called Asterisk@Home, which released its 1.0 version last year. Now there’s even a version of Asterisk that runs on OpenWrt, a Linux distribution designed to run on your wireless router (see “OpenWrt nears prime time”). I found it to be worthwhile, but I wouldn’t depend on it for my home office.

Now that doesn’t inspire confidence. I’m not that much of a hero to risk failure. Additionally, I really want Asterix for the great PBX features. Maybe I need to go for a big implementation of Asterix on a spare box.

Hmmm?!?!
