<DIV></DIV>Your device looks like a good product. But I suspect that
many, if not most of the subscribers to this list regard the concept as pretty
obvious. I think you are indulging in a conceit to declare the Xorcom
device to be an imitation of your product, regardless of how long you've been
selling it.<BR><BR>The VoIP Connection wrote:<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE cite=mid20060122185322.332B8C608@lists.digium.com type="cite"><PRE wrap="">The TS-1 is a pretty transparent attempt to cash in on the success of our
VS-1 Asterisk Voice Server. Of course, imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery, but flash-based systems have to be designed correctly or they
won't last. If you want something that has been proven in production for
almost two years now, take a look at the original:

These machines have enough horsepower to handle a small business. The VS-1
provides additional storage for configuration, voicemail, CDR's, log files,
etc. -Mike

This unit looks nice:
<A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://www.xorcom.com/ts-1/features.html">http://www.xorcom.com/ts-1/features.html</A>
It's not very powerful but I'm sure it's more than enough as
a clever SOHO end point, say to manage SIP phones properly.
You probably still have to do voicemail IP-centrex style though.
Any ideas about pricing?
Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
