[asterisk-biz] Re: Asterisk + VoiceXML

Mon Jul 3 02:08:43 MST 2006

The plan is to base ourselves on OpenVXI. We will then have the same 
approach as OpenVXI, leave a open door to TTS and VR engines. I think anyway 
that there are a lot to do with "simple" VXML and without those modules. 

But could elaborate a bit about SIPx ? What is it exactly ? What is the 
added value on OpenVXI ? Is SIPx already integrated with Asterisk ? 

Best Regards,
