So I still don’t see a compelling reason to tell a customer not to go with
Exchange 2010 and dump Unity / Unity Connection if they already own the
E-CAL for exchange 2010 as part of their EA agreement with Microsoft? To
tell them they have more nobs to turn is not going to go very far. I am
looking for real technical limitations of Exchange 2010 Vs. Unity
Connection.

having a hard time from a competitive standpoint convincing someone NOT to
dump unity  / unity connection and move directly to Exchange 2010 UM when
they have the E-CAL already as part of their enterprise agreement.

the SIP trunk because it won’t deal with RTP source/destination changes in
a session.  Like when someone does a supervised transfer to voicemail.

name on the voicemail on call transferred to voicemail, you have to run the
transfer through an app that waits for the transferee to complete the
transfer to send the call to exchange.

We are going to use a third party gateway for SIP Trunk termination to/from
