Re: [MLUG] Question about Asterisk

[Shawn Parker <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

speaking of asterisk.  the company i built the asterisk server for 
decided, after it was up and running to go with a traditional telco 
option.  i don't know why.  but, hey it's their money and time.  it is 
unfortunate that they decided this way...but i guess it's what they want.

so, project closed.  it worked for about a week.
