Asterisk was being used for TDM based PSTN switching before if even supported SIP. There is therefore nothing strange about it using hardware based timing. I don't see the relevance of VoIP transmission to the discussion. Sure you can squirt it down the tube as you see fit - but MOH is a different beast and therefore VoIP only systems using MOH still need a suitable timer - and there have been several attempts at workarounds.
In any case even if you can squirt VoIP packets as you please you still need a timing regime to support a pseudo real time app on a far from real time OS. A system that comes from a T1 background using a hardware timer seems quite understandable. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
