Thanks for the plug Kevin! :-)

Yeah, actually, if you guys want to know more there's an asterisk-ss7 
mailing list.  Asterisk-1.6.0 with libss7 is being used in many 
successful and high traffic installations around the world.

The current record (that I have been told of) is an installation doing 
over 100,000 calls per day.  So try to beat that ;-)
