The original IP PBXes were mostly based on a collection of International Telecommunications Union standards called H.323. SIP, a text-based protocol that draws on HTTP and MIME, grew out of research at Columbia University and didn't become a real force until it was adopted by the IETF in 1999.

OPTERON ======================================================================== Posted August 13, 2004 3:00 PM Pacific Time In business, dual-processor workstations are the trucks of desktop computing. Pickups aren't very glamorous, but when you need to move lots of stuff from one point to another efficiently, glamour isn't the point. You need a truck.
