[asterisk-biz] KSU Killers??

[Rick Rinehart]

ok, I'm an amateur here but I'm not understanding the desire for shared line 
appearance...

obviously if we were plugging ta's into an existing ksu we could accomplish 
sla

but if we are running asterisk and ip devices each 'line' would have it's 
own 'extention at no additional expense

beat me up and make me understand...

thx,
-rick
