Hi John, Sorry, I accidentally deleted your original e-mail and thus am breaking threading; my apologies for that. As a matter of fact, I wrote an article recently to address the very questions you ask: http://www.evaristesys.com/blog/kamailio-as-an-sbc-five-years-on/ As always, it is a matter of professional opinion, and I do not speak for the project nor the intentions of the core developers. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/
