[Asterisk-biz] Asterisk as a Voice Conference Server for upto100 simultaneous users

[Kanuri, Seshu (Company IT)]

Steve,

Thanks for the support and volunteering to be one of our referrals in
the project.
You are the kind of referral I am seeking at this time, who would be
able to provide 
Confidence to the client on a solution that is based on VOIP in general
and Asterisk 
in particular. The client is not yet confident on the VOIP as is
understandable due
To lack of exposure.

Please send me your contact information offline, which I will
incorporate into the 
Bid as.

Detailed requirements of this bid have been appended to this email, for
your info and 
To get prepared for any questions that the client may pepper you with.

Thanks once again.

I do thousands of conferences a day using asterisk as the backend, most
are in the 5-50 user range, but many are in the 150+ range. (but, I use
app_conference, not app_meetme for them).

I can give you my contact information off-list if you want it.
