Held it and petted it, called it loving names.. but I don't think that it's real SIP, I think that it's proprietary still. At least from what was explained to me. If that could bring them into this century, that would be great. But it's stiff competition with small companies like Talkswitch, Switchvox.. etc. etc. which are pretty well established within the small SIP space. (not to mention Asterisk in general) Though that said.. I still run a 6x16 in my office (alongside a small VoIP box called Jazinga)

I can imagine there's plenty of product available for the short/mid -term, but going to be interesting to see how the product evolves, assuming a viable purchaser is found.
