<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Hello<br>
I have a group of entrepreneurs researching a new service offering in the
unified communications corner of the market.&nbsp; I am looking for system that
would support the following:<br>
<br>
-Voice Mail with e-mail delivery<br>
-Auto-attendant<br>
-Fax store and forward<br>
-Conferencing &amp; logging<br>
-Hooks for Web-based end-user provisioning <br>
-Web-based billing<br>
- Support for both IP and PSTN traffic<br>
<br>
There is obviously nothing by itself new or innovative on this list but there
are certain elements of our deployment that would make the project unique.<br>
<br>
I have been looking at &quot;conventional&quot; commercial telephony products
but am intrigued by the Asterisk route.&nbsp; It might meet the need to be able
to start small&nbsp; for purposes of product development and proof-of-concept
deployment (e.g. for investors), and scale to small carrier deployment from
there.&nbsp; From monitoring this list for a while I also detect a lot of
creative talent here.&nbsp; (A lot of other stuff too..heh.)<br>
<br>
It would be a deployment targeted to North American markets.<br>
<br>
Interested parties are invited to contact me off list.&nbsp; Thank you.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
