About that Edgerouter...
How much do you trust it?
Some friends are having their 1980's vintage Centrex service (PBX hosted on the Telco's switch) discontinued and are squeamish about the change fearing the infrastructure costs to achieve a high-level of resiliency could be burdensome. The reason they went with Centrex in the first place was because they're in the middle of nowhere and the "phone guy" would never be close at hand.
I have assured them that this need not be the case and bullet-proof Nortel and Avaya switches are available for practically nothing but knowing these are not people who want to hear me prosthelytize about pfSense I don't have a router suggestion readily at hand and a redundant WAN would be a must.
