<div>There is nothing wrong with making your product into a commercial product. You are correct that many customers need to have a simple method of installation and support.</div>

<div>Lets face it the sex appeal doesn't hurt and it will help sell your product. </div>

<div>I wilsh you the best.</div>

<br>> cuts into their income.<br>><br>Wrong. With commercial software I often have to buy some kind of<br>"developer kit" to extend or modify it. Because I don't have full<br>source, I am often still limited. With open source the customer is not
<br>paying for that or many hours spent reverse engineering a commercial<br>product.<br><br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> I remember when Asterisk was really hard to learn and make it work. I<br>> also remember when SER Server took me two weeks to get online but
<br>> those days are GONE. Today, I am running 347 systems using Asterisk<br>> with customers all around the world.<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> Just what does this product offer that Trixbox and/or Asterisknow
<br>> either or both don't offer? Is this product FREE or is there a charge?<br>><br>><br>><br>> Please inform me.<br>><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by
