[Asterisk-biz] looking for Asterisk Hotel Solution

[Sergey Kuznetsov]

Tim,

If you won't find such a solution, let me know, and my team can do that 
for you.
My team built the complete ITSP long distance/international solution, 
and can
build virtually any solution around Asterisk or whatever have flexible API.


All the Best!
Sergey.
