[asterisk-ss7] ss7 for CLEC

[Kurt Greener]

Thanks for the info. My idea was to have two ss7 instances of asterisk as
trunking systems to the Verizon tandem. Then use other asterisk systems
connected to the asterisk trunking systems via IAX for SIP based handsets,
and other VOIP traffic, authentication and such. Reasonable idea?
