The trouble is though that there are two companies who have had PBX related software products under the name OpenPBX for many years and this has caused confusion. In one case the company is what you would call a natural ally because they are a competitor of Digium in the telephony hardware market and they can't fix their channel driver as fast as Digium breaks it. They would support our project but we alienated them by using a name they have been using for many years. How would you feel if you have been running "Bruno's Coffee Bar" for many years and all of a sudden an otherwise likable neighbour sets up his own "Bruno's Coffee Bar" across the street? hope this clarifies benjk _______________________________________________ Openpbx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openpbx.org/mailman/listinfo/openpbx-dev
