[asterisk-biz] Fwd: OT: Voice Operators' Group forming

[John Todd]

In the spirit of assisting other forums which are relevant to the  
industry, I'd like to forward this message with an announcement of a  
more general "operations" list.  Like NANOG, but for voice.  Not  
sponsored by Digium, but I'll subscribe anyway.  ;-)

(Note: the "puck.nether.net" server does time-delay greylisting, so  
you'll see a delay on your "subscribe" request the first time they  
talk to your mail server.)
