Heh, can't stop typing :) Anywayz, while we're at it, chan_lcr is licensed under GPL, which means it's unlikely to get included in main stream Asterisk, which means that support for it may fail at some time. I've noticed a few changes going in to libpri (or maybe it was Dahdi) to support BRI over the past couple of days (albeit in trunk), which makes me think that long term the best bet is going to be native support. Which makes me think that maybe we should stick with chan_misdn for the moment and then later move to native libpri/dahdi support once the project moves to 1.6/trunk. Reason being that I don't really want to have too many types of channels to support, and that the likelihood is that once you don't need an external driver to support BRI, those drivers will start to stagnate. Because misdn is recommended by Digium for use with the b410p, support will probably stick around for a while (even though support is kinda limited). I'm of the opinion that AstLinux should represent the most stable of Asterisk systems as one can always try out the latest and greatest bits and pieces on x86 hardware. For me, AstLinux is for production boxes that need to keep running in the most difficult of environments (i.e. where fans and upgrades may detrimental), and while I appreciated the move to 1.4, I also appreciated the care with which AstLinux moved to 1.4. -- Kind Regards, Matt Riddell Director _______________________________________________ http://www.venturevoip.com (Great new VoIP end to end solution) http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News - html) http://www.venturevoip.com/newrssfeed.php (Daily Asterisk News - rss) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
