</div>Digium is not the CEO? What? Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but...<br>
<br>
My point is that sometimes an initial reading of something is not always the<br>
correct one. It is often very wise to re-read something before making a hasty<br>
decision about it..<br>
<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Agreed. Haste makes waste, and things can be written in the same way but have totally different meanings, but the Adtran "conspiracy" is very real.<br>
<br>I was told by a former Digium employee that Adtran was a major investor in Digium, along with Mark's parents. The old code ONLY supported Adtran equipment in it's intfancy. All hearsay, and taken as such. I am still trying to get a hold of Asterisk .3 which supposedly was totally geared for Adtran. If so, READMEs and comments in the code might be pretty interesting. <br>
<br>Then the migration of the the top brass at Adtran to Digium confirmed there had to be something to the hearsay.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Steve Totaro <br></div></div><br></div>
