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.

For the sake of argument, let's say it was a smart-ass answer-- if your post was to 
"be pointed in the right direction where I could get (further) help" then that 
next help should either be:

a) the wiki
b) a training class
c) a consultant

On forums I notice that those who get a better response usually use their real name 
instead of "Me" with a private/alias email address.

To breakdown how I view your mail... if you're looking for a proxy, then yes, 
Kamailio is a great choice. If you're looking for an SBC, then no... 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.

With best regards,

Really?! Perhaps you could explain to me how exactly is the "you should get a 
consultant" comment on a routine set of questions I posted on a mailing list created 
for that very purpose - for Kamailio users like myself - anything other than a smart-arse 
reply?

Does it answer any of my queries? No!
Is it helping me in any way, shape or form? No (do you seriously think I haven't really 
thought of "getting a consultant" before posting my queries on this mailing 
list?)!
Does it provide any insight or fresh ideas on either what I want to achieve or 
the difficulties I am facing, given the problems I described earlier? No!
Does it contribute anything to the discussion on this mailing list, apart from 
wasting my own time and bandwidth so that I have to enlighten smart sparks like 
the previous poster as well as yourself? No!

  There's only so much of a massive conceptual nexus that people can reasonably 
traverse on a mailing list.  For the most part, mailing lists exist to answer 
specific questions, not provide broad, fundamental guidance or extensive 
pedagogical surveys.

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.
