[SR-Users] [newbie] questions

Please re-read my original reply.

"Sounds like you would really benefit from hiring a consultant. "

Is not "get a consultant".

Its practical advice to help you get started.

You would benefit from it. Get your project done faster and move on. It 
also helps support the kamailio community. A small way to contribute 
back for the effort many have put in so far.

Just because that was not the answer you were looking for does not give 
you right to reply the way you did.

Next time you can simply say "Thank You" and reply back with "I was 
really hoping for a better explanation."

The information you asked for is all in the docs. Yes its a lot of 
information to digest.

Good luck.

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.

>> 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.
