I was semi forced to 1.4 on some app_rpt boxen, but core boxes are still 1.2 and maybe will become FS now that they have g729 transcoding. I think my learning curve is better spent on FS and whatever fork of OpenSER is most popular now than pursuing 1.6 and DAHDI. I would have to unlearn and become unbiased from years of Asterisk experience and evolution. Not knocking it by any means, don't get me wrong. It will always have it's place. I won't go beyond 1.4.19 or whatever version forces DAHDI down my throat. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) _______________________________________________ -- 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
