Hello All, new to these boards, but I've been in telecom for the last 12 years and specifically VoIP for the last two. Just one comment. I am the network architect for a voip orig/term provider and Shoretel just recently rolled out their SIP solution. Prior to this, it is my understanding that their VoIP was proprietary.
I believe that they are heading in the right direction, but there are a few anomalies. Just as an example, the system currently only supports IP based authentication to my softswitch, they are working on digest authentication but the current method really restricts your ability to use many, but not all, internet based termination/origination providers.
