Long way to go with this one... At one time (1998 Comdex show) they had
an interesting product (Concero) but it really didn't do much. Now they
are talking some other 'thang' that honesstly i just dont get. Maybe I
am missing something but in this day and time A COMPANY NEEDS MUCH
MULA$$$$$$ to get anywhere. They have a wopping $1M bucks, smackers,
duckets, clams, greenies. Hardly enough to keep the lights IMHO. Now
if they had tons of money to waste like the good'ol dayz of
dot.tech.bust.fun they might have even spiked with ANY news.. well that
aint happening.
Happy New Year!

POTs (plain old telephones) will not entirely vanish, Jim. In our new
and improved office in beautiful downtown Garden City, NY we had
intended on being exclusively VoIP on Verizon FiOS. We even picked up
10 VoIP phones from a guy who had intended on having a VoIP network in
the Dominican Republic (not very reliable down in the Islands).
Nope. Turns out faxes will work sporadically under VoIP and VoIP
vendors will not provide a Yellow and White pages listing. And yes,
we still get faxes (mostly from accounting departments and insurance
salesmen).
So...
We're installing one POTS line for outgoing fax (eFax for incoming)
and incoming calls will be transferred after zero rings to the VoIP
phones. It's a low cost (around $60/mo) solution that provides us
with fax and a phone book listing at the same time. There IS a VoIP
fax protocol but published reports indicate it is not very reliable.
