3COM gives credibility to Asterisk? Maybe... But my guess is that they needed something in their arsenal that can actually compete with Cisco... R&D cost was weighed against a commercial Asterisk license for their appliance and well, you know the rest.
3COM = Sales Slump, buy-out/ Going Private Asterisk/Digium = Growing like a weed.

Some interesting product announcements lately. Priced to pretty much kill the traditional KSU market if people can get past the whole SLA thing or lack of it in the case of Asterisk. The 8FXO port model is under $900US. http://www.xorcom.com/products/xr1000 http://www.pikatechnologies.com/products/appliance.htm And 3COM just announced they are rebranding the Asterisk Appliance for their <30 market which should give this type of product more credibility. http://seekingalpha.com/article/48678-3com-corporation-forget-cisco-think-op en-source _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
