Even more importantly. Mark is free "improve" IAX protocol whenever he wants or more likely to make a new one called "IAX3" or whatever. He will certainly update his libiax but you'd have a lifetime job keeping your re-implemented iax library up to date. I can see many reasons to write a new client for Windows but not one for re-implementing libiax. OK maybe it does not compile in your enviroment then you need to port it and submit patches, autoconf macroa or whatever back to the author. But the LAST thing you want is that lifetime maintance job. ===== Chris Albertson Home: 310-376-1029 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 310-990-7550 Office: 310-336-5189 [EMAIL PROTECTED] KG6OMK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
