[SR-Users] How to increment dialog calee_cseq value when using t_uac_dlg via xmlrpc for generating INFO requests

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

good to hear you found a solution. You can create a wiki page on our 
project site if you want to share your experience, or if you write it in 
your own site/blog, you can list it in the wiki as a link.

Cheers,
Daniel
