[asterisk-biz] Asterisk TS-1 Asterisk/Soekris/iTX

[Mark Phillips]

Because it can be.

Coupled with the fact that he has to support it, package it, supplt 
product to peeps like voipconnection.com whom probably won;t pay until 
they sell one or worse still sell them on consignment.

I'm getting a large one for your Soekris work. $1500 for the A101 
variation. The market will bear it so why not.
