[Asterisk-Users] 911 and lawsuits and redundancy

[Steve Totaro]

Jonathan,

My take on redundancy is to use a real server with disk mirroring and

I would be very interested to hear your progress on this project as I am
sure most everyone would be.  Please keep us updated on it.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
