[asterisk-biz] KSU Killers??

[Steve Totaro]

Maybe I am not as dumb as I look ;-)

Just purchased a small touchscreen.  I will probably just use a thin 
client that automatically opens up to FOP for this rather than doing 
dual monitors.  Less to mess up and I have 15 thin clients sitting in a box.

I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
