[asterisk-biz] Softswitch Required

I would not recommend Tekelec T7000 ( former Taqua OCX ).
I work with this switch every day and only recently they fixed some ugly 
bugs. But even now it is still buggy.

I saw the prospects of Metaswitch and it looks very nice. May be we will 
go with them.


All the Best!
Sergey.
