Finished. Working. Provides interoperability. The internet is open, and uses these standards to provide services for you to use. Like you receiving this mail. I very much doubt that you set up your own mail server ( nope, you use gplhost services instead ), but it's necessary that the infrastructure is in place before you can read this. So by your reasoning, email isn't finished either?? The bit you're complaining about is the SIP equivalent of a mail server, which is free if you're prepared to configure the relevant software and environment, or you pay someone else to do it for you. As for clients, is, for example, ekiga really that difficult to configure?? Whatever, it's infinitely better than some closed product using 100% of the available cpu on a PC running Microsoft windows... but doing what??? Steve -- Steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
