This is very up to Sun, however they seem to be too limited, since they dont offer SIP connectivity or provide recordings of the call to everyone email. I have seen that there are some that do provide this functionality including totally programable IVR. This functionality will help us on organizign the calls that we need to do. http://www.tollfreeforwarding.com This is a vendor I have seen for a while, it does provide toll free, Skype or SIP connectivity and also recordings along with other features. -- Alexandro Colorado OpenOffice.org Español IM: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
