We run into situations like this often as well, and it's truly unfortunate, because it gives our industry and the technology driving it a bad name, and like you, some customers want to go back to TDM and have nothing to do with VoIP at all because they find "safety" again in a PRI/T1/POTS relationship where there's one carrier whom you have an SLA with and you can beat them up when something's not working. I look forward to the day when "full service solutions providers" consider the network in addition to just the application and don't consider a public internet IP connection, sans any QoS infrastructure, to your run of the mill volume ITSP "carrier grade". -- Bird's The Word Technologies, Inc. http://www.btwtech.com/ _______________________________________________ --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
