[TriLUG] [OT] Switchvox SMB

[Jim Ray]

After hearing Mark Spencer, CTO at Digium, the other week, we decided to pick up the Digium product line. It is my understanding after speaking with them yesterday that they now have an embedded system with Asterisk that eliminates the cost of a server.

Here is their web site:

I am looking forward to learning more about it.

BTW, great meeting! Me thinks it was the 3rd one I've been to in 6 years. So much for perfect attendance :-)

Regards,
 
Jim
