[asterisk-biz] Hotel PMS gateway product?

[Alistair Cunningham]

Enswitch used to be able to connect to hotel Property Management Systems 
(PMSs) using a gateway box made by Intouch Digital. This allowed it to 
act as a hosted telephony system for hotels, with the PMS sending room 
updates (e.g. guest checking in/out) to Enswitch so that calls could be 
allowed/disallowed, and Enswitch sending billing updates to the PMS so 
that calls would appear on guests' bills when they checked out.

Unfortunately Intouch Digital are no longer trading. I've been looking 
for a replacement product without success. Internet searches for "hotel 
PMS gateway" and similar tend to produce the Enswitch documentation as 
their first result.

Does anyone know of a replacement PMS gateway product that we could use 
to provide this functionality? We'd prefer not to have to implement the 
protocol for each PMS system out there, particularly as many of them run 
over serial cables (and thus awkward to integrate with a remote hosted 
telephony system) and are poorly documented.
