Gad, I did say that both FTEL and Inter-Tel can go after each other's markets. Again: Slightly different markets, but the gateways are similar. This means that Inter-Tel can try to get into the long-distance market and they probably are. And FTEL could try to get into the corporate PBX market. There are a lot of others who are doing similar things. Check out Mitel's server gateway, or Lucent's server gateway. But thanks for trying to make my post clear for everyone. -Atin

Martin and Atin, IMO, Frank IS going after Corporate business ahead of the General public. I think he will set up alliances to "do" the public end but the TEMPEST is PERFECT for INTRANET applications. Think about it. I work for the 4th largest airline in the world. They have computers on line 24 hours per day all over the world. The computers are tied into the airlines Mainframe. BUT when I'm somewhere other than where the Mainframe is I HAVE to call Long distance to talk to my dispatcher or use an 800 number which still costs money. BUT if the company had a BUNCH of TEMPESTS at their various locations I could SIMPLY pick up the phone and make the call over the SAME lines as the computers. That, IMO, is where Frank is heading...
