        I did listen to that webinar. It could have easily been 2x or 3x
        as long and not been deep enough.<br>

                    <div>We are in the market to acquire / take over a

                      the virtual edition that runs purely in VMWare.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>The components we'd need are:</div>
                    <div>    CFS</div>
                    <div>    MRS (Media Resource Server)</div>
                    <div>    Perimeta</div>
                    <div>    SAS (Service Assurance Server)</div>
                    <div>    MetaView Server</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>These are fairly common components.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>Given the MetaSwitch products are no longer
                      sold, and Microsoft is EOLing them, and not taking
                      new support contracts, we're not talking about a
                      big cash up front kind of deal, but, instead a
                      revenue share kind of arrangement.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>Anyone that has one and is interested, contact
