Why do you keep insisting that Digium promise to *never* deprecate dial plans? I don't think that's a promise that's really worth anything as there may be really good reasons in the future to do so. I think that you've gotten the best that you will get: they've said that there are no plans within Digium to deprecate the dial plan, and if there were plans, they'd give people a long time prepare before it actually happens. It's probably a good time to refresh your understanding of Digium's support policies: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions Version 13 will be around until at least 2018, so you'll have *at least* that long to prepare for the switch, since version 13 is feature frozen so there's no way the dial plan would be removed from 13. And all of this talk of "deprecating the dial plan" isn't even coming from Digium. It's something that was suggested by a community member at the developer conference. I wasn't there so I don't know how seriously it was taken there, but it would have been impolite of everyone involved to just ignore it. -- Jeff Ollie -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
