Michael,
	Please contact me when it is convenient for you. I have several 
potential business areas where your software might be applicable, and as a 
result might be able to arrange some funding for your development efforts. 
The fact that the code will be GPL only strengthens the arguement.

> - What i regret is the lack of developement of a interface between asterisk and other software (for windows TAPI for example) i asked many times some basic questions about the manager interface but nobody seems to be interested ! i strongly belief this would be a major break through. but i do not have enough C++ and/or Linux knowledge (and TIME ) to develop these features.

(and don't try to convince me with "ethical" arguments, i'm now trying for 3 years to make some "descent" money with integration of open source software and i see it as a win/win operation)
