[Asterisk-Dev] SS7 for *

[Ben Merrills]

Internet time? No, I'd like not to have a £40,000 Oakford box sat between our SS7 lines and EuroISDN! It would make life much cheaper :)

We'd be more than willing to assist in testing; we have the facilities and the assistance from our partners. Either way, we look forwards to seeing the end result.

Cheers,

Hi Ben

Have you bought into the hype about internet time? :-)

I said it was being tested, and it is. SS7 is quite big, so you don't 
give it a quick try and say all is well. It is functioning well enough 
to be handling traffic at a test site in Europe. Give it a few more 
weeks, and a solid polished solution should be available.

Regards,
Steve
