I can basically attest to this. Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.4 is not a trivial task. Be sure to read the UPGRADE.txt file, and you will need to do some development on a test system to make sure everything still works. As Reza stated, if you simply install 1.4 over your 1.2 system, it's not going to "just work". The major revision number is difference, thus that means core changes to how Asterisk works. I've been using 1.4 for over a year now, and I love it! But I can't state enough that upgrading from 1.2 to 1.4 is not a trivial task. -- Leif Madsen. http://www.leifmadsen.com http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
