No SS7/ISUP support (and no TCAP, which is required for LNP and LIDB and traditional CNAM), poor/incomplete IMT support, can't take more than a few T1s per host - if that. No GR.303 support. To me that makes it essentially impotent for 99% of the purposes for which one would want a Real Softswitch(TM). -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : +1-678-954-0670 Direct : +1-678-954-0671 _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
