Follow-up to the list: The boss decided to take over my private project (so the money's no longer coming from my own purse -- yeepee!) and, after doing some research of his own and talking to the Sangoma people, he decided to go the Sangoma way. I will keep the list posted on our success/failures, as I will be heavily involved with this on the technical side.
