Leaving letigousness out of this, how far off is asterisk and app_rpt from being there and what would it take to get it to this level of reliability and stability? a bounty may be an option as well.<br><br>Eric<br><br><div>

<br>My personal opinion, is that you would probably be better off buying a<br>solution from someone who you could hold accountable should the system fail<br>at the worst possible moment. Sometimes there are reasons for going with a
<br>proprietary and costly solution. I believe your application is one where this<br>would be the prudent thing to do.<br><br>Steve WA6ZFT<br><br>On Monday 03 July 2006 13:39, Eric Fort wrote:<br>> I am looking at asterisk and app_rpt as a solution for a ship to shore
