Hello, I'm the person responsable for the zoiper roadmap, comments inline

We are definately going to support it, i know it takes a bit longer than normal, because we are insanely busy with some huge projects, but it's definately coming ! > It's really pissed me off because idefisk was small, clean > and light-weight and ran under all my systems.

I thought it would work on most of the desktop based distros that typically have newer libs. But i did not expect it not to work on debian, the actual work to make it run on debian again is not that much, we just need a little time to install another build environment. My goal is for it to run on even more platforms than ever before. (more news on that in the next week). > I just want to get back to basics and have a small application that I can > drive using the keyboard that does nothing more than make and take calls > using IAX. > > Gordon > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
