<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Hello<br>
I have a group of entrepreneurs researching a new service offering in the
unified communications corner of the market. I am looking for system that
would support the following:<br>
<br>
-Voice Mail with e-mail delivery<br>
-Auto-attendant<br>
-Fax store and forward<br>
-Conferencing & logging<br>
-Hooks for Web-based end-user provisioning <br>
-Web-based billing<br>
- Support for both IP and PSTN traffic<br>
<br>
There is obviously nothing by itself new or innovative on this list but there
are certain elements of our deployment that would make the project unique.<br>
<br>
I have been looking at "conventional" commercial telephony products
but am intrigued by the Asterisk route. It might meet the need to be able
to start small for purposes of product development and proof-of-concept
deployment (e.g. for investors), and scale to small carrier deployment from
there. From monitoring this list for a while I also detect a lot of
creative talent here. (A lot of other stuff too..heh.)<br>
<br>
It would be a deployment targeted to North American markets.<br>
<br>
Interested parties are invited to contact me off list. Thank you.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
