Hi Daniel

Thanks for your answer. But i don't undestand why i would need the avp
module to do that - couldn't i just set something like 

if (!mf_process_maxfwd_header("1")) {
...
};

As far as i understood, the mf_process_maxfwd_header() method compairs the
given value (i.e. 1) to theactual value in the request? So my question is,
in my setup with only one SER Proxy with some UAs and a PSTN Gateway and no
forwaring or receiving from other SIP Proxies, would it make sense to set
there parameter for max_hops to 1 or am I missing something and this might
cause probles?

Greetings
Frank
