FYI as of 30 days ago the Verisign SIP IM services did not exist. They push it on their site, but according to their sales rep's you cannot order the product, with no target date known for availability. Of course, could have just been the sales rep we were assigned. Regards,

You dont have to be a clec to get SS7 interconnection, nor do you have to have proper SS7 gear. Verisign has a service offering called SIP-7 where they will use SIP IM capability to traffic SS7 messages (and they are already connected to every lec/ixc in the US and Canada - they claim every but who knows). This removes the requirement of the gear, and its upto the carriers you connect with as to whether or not they will give out SS7 access, there are quite a few that will even if you arent a clec. Asterisk business edition has SS7 now (and has for a while), and that is most likely a better choice than trying to use SIP IM, but the option is still there. Verisign again has a straight SS7 feed that you can use so you have one connection instead of multiple to various different providers. If you are just connecting to one provider verisign most likely isnt the best choice. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
