[asterisk-biz] Asterisk TS-1 Asterisk/Soekris/iTX

[The VoIP Connection]

Because it's worth it. I'm speaking about the VS-1, not the "TS-1". I can't
comment on the "TS-1" one way or another.

We engineer it, we support it, we warrantee it. We're currently working with
Digium to certify it. These things cost money, but they are the difference
between a "box" and a product. When you buy a VS-1, we are going to make
sure you are a happy customer within 30 days or you are going to get your
money back, no questions asked.  -Mike
