Louis ross Telecommutes to Orange county from the Oregon coast. He has an asterisk in production and has done presentations about it.
In addition, Proworks in Corvallis recently switch to an asterisk solution and are testing it. We also have a local corvallis ISP-type company that has explore offerings with asterisk. they could explay more if you need details. I suspect we do have the expertise around in corvallis and the surrounding areas if you need it. Garl Grigsby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: % So, I'm coming to a crossroads.
