[Asterisk-Users] Dialogic channel pricing

[mawali at news.icns.com]

Sorry for disappointing you, (or actually breathing, probably that might 
bother you too). Im lazy, actually im so lazy I will ignore most of your 
email. Please do not lecture me, since I am stupid I will not understand 
your comments anyway!!

Basically, there are a lot of disconnect between what you tell me and what 
Asterisk documentation is telling me. I want to know the price, and where 
to find it.

And while you talk about me doing research in previous posts........

Never mind (you are superior anyway)
