In the case of sipxbridge, one can suppress PRACK generation from
polycom by not adding Supported: 100rel header and by not adding
Allow: PRACK


However, this will not work in the case of other PSTN gateways that do
want to send PRACK for legitimate reasons so this is not a good
solution.

Its reliable so it must be good. But on the other hand, if responses
are a good thing in the first place, more must be better; so one might
present a compelling case for the converse hypothesis. :-)
