I figured you would. I just get beat up for this viewpoint all the time from the Paranoidal Ones, and continue to struggle understand their reasoning. Many of them have claimed they lose a ton of money from accounting problems caused by the unreliability of signaling (as though SIP doesn't have reliable retransmission of transactional messages or something) but they've never shown me any numbers to substantiate that. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (678) 237-1775 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
