Good point, Craig.  I have added another image and a little more 
description to the web page.  I will try to get a flash demo on there as 
well, but I'm going on vacation this weekend and trying to finish up 
other things before I leave so my wife will not yell at me for 
conducting work :)

Maybe you would consider downloading the software and playing around 
with it.  We are a reputable company in business for almost 10 years 
now, albeit not with Asterisk products until recently.
