Buzz: Checkout the similarities between this company and Franklin. Selsius Systems selsius.com) offers a server-based IP-PBX. It's different from the PC-based PBXs of today in that it replaces the trunk and line cards from companies such as Dialogic and NaturalMicroSystems with IP telephony gateways. That eliminates the need to add new boxes when more capacity is needed, and applications can sit on the network rather than on the PBX. Corporations will use these servers to handle PBX,IP telephony,, voice mail and other communications functions. CTServer is the term used here. A CTserver manages all the communications services of an enterprise. The CTserver is a superset of everything. Its based on an open platform rather than proprietary hardware, as PBXs are. Because it is server-based, new applications and functionality can be added at will and from multiple developers. For example, a single box could provide PBX functionality, connectivity to circuit-switched and packet-switched networks for voice and fax (including routing and conversion functions) and voice mail capabilities to a 50-person company. A CTserver will be able to handle all kinds of higher-level applications such as managing routing tables, tying into e-mail and directory services, he says. The CTserver appeals to communications-intensive businesses like brokerage firms, retail stores--people who have a large number of branch offices on a data network [like retailers]. If the CTserver is in branch locations, you could do voice over the same network on which you do your point of sales. The economics of it are looking pretty compelling. If I just want a PBX for under $2,000, this is not for me. But if I need a $5,000 voice mail system and other stuff, I might as well buy a $10,000 CTserver at $1,000 per desk, because that's everything." A CTservers also will be easier to administer than are current enterprise voice systems. When a new employee joins a company today, the telecom staff has to enter the individual into the PBX system, the voice mail system, the e-mail system, the fax service and update the auto attendant. On a CTserver, you go in to the active directory and they're in, "period". If I was an owner of a 50-person business, I couldn't manage six systems, but I could manage this. Simplicity from end to end with one functional platform. Sounds allot like a "tempest" doesn't it! sTempy
