[Users] t_check_status

[Douglas Garstang]

That doesn't look like an RFC to me. It's not cataloged at rfc.net, and doesn't have a number. I didn't even know it existed. Thanks though. Like most things related to Openser, the knowledge is just assumed.

	Before you can take advantage of what OpenSER has to offer, you should
	become familiar with the the various RFC's associated with SIP
	communication.
	
	AVP stands for Attribute - Value Pair.  Basically, it maps an attribute
	for example, "NPA" to a value such as "212".  The AVP's do have the
	ability to use databases to store and retrieve values, however, this is
	not a requirement.  The configuration file can set, test and/or access
	an AVP without any database access.  In real life situations, you will
	most probably want to use a database to store and retrieve AVP's.
	
	RPID is defined here:
	http://www.iptel.org/ietf/security/identity/draft-ietf-sip-privacy-04.txt
	
	Regards,
	Norm

Considering it looks like it was written by the people who developed OpenSER, there's a lot of implied/assumed knowledge there, and the scripting language is very high level, it's bloody difficult to work out what the documentation means.
