First Matt kept chocking me by questioning a lot of our old rules that seemed carved in stone. But in the end, we have something that will lead to a much better product - which is the important thing. At some point we will have to ask ourselves as a project about all these old rules - are they still meaningful? Matt has done a lot of good for the project and the product by doing this. In this case though, I think he's wrong ;-) I do agree with you a bit. While it is important to remember and follow the core architecture of asterisk and try to be channel-agnostic, we also have to ask ourselves what is going to be important a few years from now. Will and ISDN-inspired core take us there? /O -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
