Recently I changed providers but for over a year, I had Shaw Digital Phone 
connected to my Asterisk box. There are quite a few extensions at my house 
and not all phones were through the PBX.

The problems I had were the following:

1) Occasionally, the circuit would not be released and as a result, dialtone 
was lost. The only way I could resolve that was by unplugging the jack from 
the PBX Server and plugging it back in again.

2) *98 did not send me to Shaw's voice mail if I punched it in on an analog 
phone connected to the PBX. Other extensions in the house (which were not 
connected to the PBX) could reach the voice messaging system, however.

Other than that, voice quality was good and I was able to receive calls on 
softphones as well as the two analog phones connected to the PBX without any 
problem. However, one person who called did complain that she couldn't 
understand what I was saying -- which could be attributed to my accent or to 
Asterisk with Shaw Digital.

HTH,

Vijay
