[asterisk-users] Feasibility Request

[Chris Childress]

Hello Jeremy,

    We have implemented HA systems in the past for numerous clients,  
call centers, etc, where reliability matters.  We can definitely offer 
you a bid on this, but I would like to speak with you a bit first to 
nail down the requirements.  What would be a convenient time and number 
to reach you?
