That is how I read their meaning. > >> Digium is not the CEO? What? Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but... My point is that sometimes an initial reading of something is not always the correct one. It is often very wise to re-read something before making a hasty decision about it.. Agreed. Haste makes waste, and things can be written in the same way but have totally different meanings, but the Adtran "conspiracy" is very real. I was told by a former Digium employee that Adtran was a major investor in Digium, along with Mark's parents. The old code ONLY supported Adtran equipment in it's intfancy. All hearsay, and taken as such. I am still trying to get a hold of Asterisk .3 which supposedly was totally geared for Adtran. If so, READMEs and comments in the code might be pretty interesting. Then the migration of the the top brass at Adtran to Digium confirmed there had to be something to the hearsay. Thanks, Steve Totaro
