As a newbie to * there is a lot I do not yet understand. Before I jump onboard I could use some help in evaluating whether * is the way to go on applications I'm about to put together and spec. Here are a number of questions that will help me in my evaluations. I hope this belongs in this group. The first application is a outdial app. with the option of the called party opting in to be transferred to a call center. I know all of the restrictions in the U.S. about do not call lists but they do not apply to this. The outcall will be placed VoIP with gateways taking it back to the PSTN in various locations worldwide. Some of the gateways will be * and some will be commercially available gateways probably running Cisco boxes. My * questions are: 1. What is the estimated simultaneous call capacity of a single server placing calls and playing a message and allowing the called party to request a call transfer either to a PSTN number or another VoIP address? 2. Is it possible to transfer calls to as VXML server and then retrieve the call when the VXML browser hangs up? Similar to a recall type action. 3. What is the maximum number of conference participants possible in a single conference? Would it be best to have a separate * server for conferences. The conferences would be a mix of listen only and listen / speak parties. 4. Is there a good pool of * developers that would take on contract work to develop apps. using *? Any help in leading me down the right path is much appreciated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
