well....... back in the early days of the internet that was quite true because there was a Small Company that made excellent FLAME suits. The suits were were made of top quality materials and were expensive to manufacture and but the company charged a fair price and the suits were embraced by the customers. Then, along came another much larger company, who even though they wern't in the FLAME suit business, decided that expansion into that market would benefit their existing customer base. So Big Company bought a FLAME suit from Small Company and proceded to Embrace and Extend the flame suit technology for the benefit of all mankind. Some months later, Big Company declared the BC_FLAME Suit1.0 finished and started bundeling it with all their existing products at no additional charge. Even though the BC_FLAME Suit 1.0 had some problems keeping flames from penetrating the "when nature calls" flaps and it was discovered that the BC_FLAME Suit 1.0 was manufactured with materials derived from the gypsie moth's favorite food, poor old Small Company still found it's sales steadily shrinking. Shortly after, Small Company collapased leaving the only source of flame suits our friends at Big Company. Over the years, the BC_FLAME Suit has gone through several enhancements and is now on it's 5.0 release but I still don't trust it like my good old original FLAME suit from Small Company. :) -- .~. /V\ LCA // \\ /( )\ ^'~'^ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
