For the sake of argument, let's say it was a smart-ass answer-- if your post was to
"be pointed in the right direction where I could get (further) help" then that
next help should either be:
a) the wiki
b) a training class
c) a consultant
On forums I notice that those who get a better response usually use their real name
instead of "Me" with a private/alias email address.
To breakdown how I view your mail... if you're looking for a proxy, then yes, Kamailio
is a great choice. If you're looking for an SBC, then no... Kamailio alone isn't
your best choice; although it could be with some tweaking and (possible) use of other
products. If you're looking for someone to help you with this complex question, and to
learn about this product, I recommend B & C.
With best regards,

Really?! Perhaps you could explain to me how exactly is
the "you should get a consultant" comment on a routine set of questions I posted
on a mailing list created for that very purpose - for Kamailio users like myself -
anything other than a smart-arse reply?
Does it answer any of my queries? No!
Is it helping me in any way, shape or form? No (do you seriously think I haven't
really thought of "getting a consultant" before posting my queries on this
mailing list?)!
Does it provide any insight or fresh ideas on either what I want to achieve or the
difficulties I am facing, given the problems I described earlier? No!
Does it contribute anything to the discussion on this mailing list, apart from wasting my
own time and bandwidth so that I have to enlighten smart sparks like the previous poster
as well as yourself? No!
There's only so much of a massive conceptual
nexus that people can reasonably traverse on a mailing list. For the most part, mailing
lists exist to answer specific questions, not provide broad, fundamental guidance or
extensive pedagogical surveys.
I didn't ask for "fundamental guidance" or "pedagogical
surveys". I asked to be pointed in the right direction where I could get (further)
help. I did not force anyone to answer, let alone come up with "gems" like the
one I commented on in my previous post.
I'd say it again though - this thread is for me to seek answers/advice/help/guidance
- if you, the previous poster, or anyone else for that matter is unwilling or unable to
provide one, then just move along - there is nothing to see here. Smart-arse comments like
"get a consultant" isn't what I am looking for, nor is the reason for
starting this thread on this mailing list.
