This is a little like the hen and the egg... No one will support you starting to write a SS7 ++ stack, but once you get going and the first stacks turns up, so will business.

In a situation like this, commercial sponsors can pool resources for certification. Obviously anyone using a modified version would not be using certified code but the sponsors who pay for certification would still get multiple benefits.

That’s the problem you have to spend tons of time to get them certified...

I don't agree with selling protocols like this commercially. Guess thats just the Open Source in me wanting that stuff to be free./bOn Jan 27, 2009, at 12:27 PM, Ken Rice wrote: There are things available for this in the commercial space. One from CometSig.com and one from sangoma. Nothing at this time in the opensource arena. (OpenSS7 will not be integrated with freeswitch due to licensing issues)Contact me off list if you are interested in either of the commercial versions I can assist you with these things.Ken _________________________________________________________________ More than messages–check out the rest of the Windows Live™. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/
