Most large enterprises (25k+ employees) would rather have a product backed by a real vendor, are not willing to switch office workers to linux, and do not see IAX as a viable option. Many customers avoid things like IAX form fear of being tied to a single vendor.
I don't think it's generally possible to dismiss products that don't meet all of your business requirements. It would probably be a better idea to find a few candidates that meet most of your business requirements or at least the higher priority requirements, and then work with the vendor's professional services staff or your own development staff to tailor the product to your needs. None of the products you mentioned would ever be acceptable to the majority of enterprise clients I work with. -------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com 848 N.

Well, if it isn't configurable enough, it is not good enough. Then you should not use it. Use twinkle. Use kiax. Use iaxcomm. Just don't don't complain that this specific software is not configurable enough. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
