[asterisk-biz] RE: Corraleta Connect Inquiry

[Steve Totaro]

You wouldn't necessarily need ziftalk or mexuar since IAXClient and 
JIAXClient are at a point where Mexuar wouldn't be needed either. I 
think it is functionality that will be totally opensource shortly and 
that is probably why nobody is really signing up in the US. I just don't 
see this being needed in a few months (as a paid for service).

The point is ziftalk is free to register and cost is based on usage, it 
is available right now until JIAXClient is ready for prime time and 
totally opensource.

Thanks,
Steve
