Summary:                    [patch] udptl parameters differ with and without
udptl.conf
Description: 
Hi,

if you don't have an udptl.conf, you get the range 4500-4599. If you do
have one (but without anything in it), you get 4500-4999.

This is inconsistent and confusing.

The supplied patch fixes:
(1) That you get 4500-4999 even if you do not have an udptl.conf.
(2) Re-orders the use_even_ports check so you can't supply the range
1235-1236 and get 1236-1235, which will probably lead to funny results.

I've patched SVN-trunk, but 1.6.2.8 is also "affected".

I suppose you're right in that it's a minor change in behaviour.

But, speaking for myself, I would've preferred the larger range as
default. I try to keep the configuration files to a minimum and only add
them when needed. The default range of 100 is disappointingly low in
comparison to the default RTP range. And, the smallness caused me to run
out of udptl socket and run into the crash fixed by
http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk?revision=266293&view=revision .
