[cisco-voip] Setting up gatekeeper on IOS

[Teodor Georgiev]

In my personal opinion, using a Cisco IOS gatekeeper for ITSP business it not 
the best idea available. There are numerous PC based gatekeepers / 
softswitches like GnuGK (www.gnugk.org), AcuaGK, Voicemaster, MERA
and etc. They are much more flexible to work with. Just my personal opinion, 
the last thing I want is to start a flame war.
