"Although it’s easy to think of Asterisk as just another VoIP server, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Asterisk is an extremly flexible communications platform that can serve as a VoIP Signaling Server, a Media Gateway (allows IP telephony to interface with analog phones, fax machines, or PSTN lines), a traditional analog or TDM-based PBX phone system, voice mail, IVR, Unified Messaging, and too many other things to list!"

Although it’s easy to think of Asterisk as just another VoIP server, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Asterisk is an extremly flexible communications platform that can serve as a VoIP Signaling Server, a Media Gateway (allows IP Telephony to interface with analog phones, fax machines, or PSTN lines), a traditional analog or TDM-based PBX phone system, voice mail, IVR, Unified Messaging, and too many other things to list! For almost unlimited voice mail for everyone - for under $6000 in a 1 U chassis. Such a price point is easily 10 or more times cheaper than a commercial alternative.
