Erm isn't that the whole point of most stats? :) I remember (oh how I wish I could forget) when I did stats stuff for economics at university and how they showed us every which way that stats and graphs and other similar tools can be abused and not even noticed by most people. I will add that I doubt they are truly surprised, almost EVERY company these days has to have either contracted support or in house staff to deal with technical problems issues or otherwise, and most of these guys were probably earlier adopters years ago. This is the perfect example of ground roots advertising, get in at the ground floor (early adopters) who then pass it up the chain (bosses etc) and here we are. I'm wondering if they are counting AGI scripting, any kinds of patches (rx/tx fax) as modifying asterisk to bump up the numbers as well, but with a large number of geeks out there working in IT this is merely an extension of the other 20 or so years of computer use. Bosses/companies whoever have these weird notions on what phone calls are, but asterisk and things like enumlookups *grin* are very similar in concept to routing packets about the place, asterisk being static routing, and enum more akin to BGP. It took me about a week after using Asterisk to write an AGI script, and shortly after a friend and I coded a whole telephony directory service. Frankly, depending on what they counted as what I'm surprised this number isn't higher, that's the whole point of not buying a black box, so you have flexability. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Because e164.arpa is a tax on VoIP "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
