Excellent. This was the part that left me feeling empty when I read version 2. All the other news bits were great, but some only mentioned. I appreciate how long it takes and what has to be chopped. >> 2. Something about testing ;-) Heh. >> > Testing?

I appreciate that too. Now IAX2 is a proper RFC, I'd like to see both SIP and IAX2 get more details. But again, it's a trade off. Beginner book or Advanced. Don't want to scare people and set the barrier too high. >> 2. Linking different PBXs together. >> > Yep. Good idea and one we've got on the planned outline. Nice. Lot's of things can be done, but maybe just two are needed: 1. Connection/extending a system over some form of VoIP, H.323, SIP etc. I'm thinking about Avaya here. 2. Connection/extending a system over PRI/BRI/analogue etc. >> My understanding of advanced, may be someones "beginner" and vice >> versa, so I'll leave that up to you. >> >> That's about it until it comes to a point where you'd need a book per topic. >> >> Thanks. >> > Thanks for the suggestions.
