I think you are right, i see many problems solved (with unofficial patch) on the "asterisk" side of visdn, but a lot of problems are in the "kernel" side, and nobody seems to take care about. I think the fork is also a right choiche beacause is a nonsense the presence of a mantained "GSM" sms/voice channel in a project started to develop a 'REAL ISDN' infrastructure, where the isdn part is abandoned and not developed as needed. Consider also that a lot of patch have been sent in this mailing list, none of them are present on the mainstream visdn code. Perhaps there is a number of sites where is possibile to find a 'patched' version of the visdn code, this is not my idea of quality, and also this is not a good image for a GPL project. The last recent power on the development of the MISDN driver (thanks to Digium?) and the fact that also the patches needed to asterisk to work with visdn are not in the asterisk mainstream code seems to tell us "hey place this job on the WC and swap to MISDN". Why not? Ciao. :-)
