    manufacturers, software vendors and service providers have
    increasingly high expectations of companies providing SIP protocol
    stacks and toolkits. FSS' top ranking is a very strong statement from
    the market," continued Mr. Johnson.
    "FSS' products' proven ability to reduce time-to-market and their
    superior scalability, interoperability and quality are the top factors
    our customers cite when they choose our SIP products," according to

    development of our customers' products and services through FSS
    products that include SIP-powered IMS offerings, SIP User Agent
    Toolkits, our SIP Server Framework, our Back-to-Back User Agent and
