Bayonne bridges open source, telecom (NewsForge)

[Posted August 27, 2003 by corbet]

NewsForge has a detailed look at GNU Bayonne and the project behind it. "GNU Bayonne is a customizable telecommunications application server that can be used for a variety of telecom applications such as interactive voice response systems and telephone system administration tools. It facilitates the creation of telecom applications that can be directly integrated with traditional scripting languages and tools commonly found on free software platforms such as Linux."

Free software in the telecom world

The telecom market is traditionally so steeped in proprietary systems that it makes Microsoft seem like a fraternity for free software fanatics.

Well, I work at the R&D division of big telecom company, and we use a lot of free software like GNU bash, gcc, openssh, openldap, tomcat, apache, linux, *BSD, etc. Even our products include some free 3rd party software.
