I also used to think the old timers should get grandfathered dCAP cert. Then I looked at some of the stuff the dCAP certification tests for and realized that almost nobody out there that learned Asterisk from the docs and use it in a real world install would be able to pass the dCAP. As Tilghman said you can take JUST the dCAP test for a reasonable fee without having to take the classes. -- Consulting for Asterisk, Polycom, Sangoma, Digium, Cisco, LAN, WAN, QoS, T-1, PRI, Frame Relay, Linux, and network design.
