[Asterisk-Users] Billing system experiences with Advanced Communications?

[John Todd]

I ran across this URL the other day:

  http://www.advancedvoip.com/

It seems that they have a low-priced solution for billing, which 
seems to have some interesting features (at least, via the canned 
demo they provide.)  It handles CDRs and also (sorry, Jeremy) Radius, 
and seems to have a lot of features.  I'll be calling them later 
today to discuss their product, if only out of curiosity at their low 
prices and reasonably full-featured demo.  The system seems very much 
geared to H.323, and it is not obvious what the back end is, so I am 
somewhat suspicious of functionality.

Pricing seems reasonable - they charge by the port.  For an 8 port 
system, it would be $960 (!!!) which probably translates into $1720 
for a single 4-port PRI card.  No recurring charges.  It sounds 
almost too good to be true.

I have had enough experience with billing systems to know at least 
that nothing ever is as it seems in the demo.  Has anyone who is a 
commercial service provider on the list implemented this software? 
If so, what have your experiences been?
