I think of *, Broadworks, Vocaldata, Sylantro as "line side feature servers", and SS7 signaling with say IMTs/PRIs more for the class5 network side soft-switch (NexVerse, SONUS etc).
Typically they handle the LERG, complex translations etc and do it quite well (although typically they take in native A-links for SS7 or some degree of the "SS7-o-IP" standards). I'm not sure I would want a line side feature server trying to be all things to all people... kinda gets like Cisco IOS Enterprise :-o > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 2:59 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SIP-T Support (I got my head in an SS7 cloud) > > Hey All, > I'm just daydreaming here.. but what's the status of SIP-T in Asterisk? > I haven't been able to find a whole lot of info on SIP-T but seems like > just an extension of SIP.
