Hello Rusty!

Can you elaborate a bit more?

There has not been any discussion since my last question/request for update (19/Jun/12 2:00 PM)

There was some email interchanges before that date though. I'd not call them a discussion since little arguments were exchanged.

I'd prefer if someone from Digium can state here explicitly whether this feature is being accepted or rejected and the reasoning.

I already described to the best of my abilities why the feature would be quite useful to the community and the maintenance plan. No response was provided.

> Hello Asterisk developers,
> There are multiple GSM cards that can be used with Asterisk out there, but currently each vendor is using their own channel drivers (mostly based on chan_dahdi). With the release of our GSM cards, Sangoma Technologies has developed an AT commands library to support GSM modules, called LibWAT (Wireless AT).
> Just like LibPRI and LibSS7, LibWAT uses DAHDI interface to talk to the kernel drivers. It is completely open-source, and our ultimate goal is to make it the de-facto GSM library for Asterisk. 
> LibWAT is designed to work with any GSM modules. In addition to the GSM 7.07 spec, LibWAT also has provision for vendor specific AT commands. Even though we have only tested with Telit GSM modules so far, we encourage anyone willing to participate with the LibWAT project to test LibWAT with their GSM module of choice so we can support as many GSM modules as possible.
> LibWAT is available on GitHub. The main development branch can be downloaded using git:
> git clone git://github.com/sangoma-dev/libwat.git
> Instructions on how to configure LibWAT with Sangoma cards can be found here:
> http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-linux-asterisk-gsm#dahdi-install
> I posted the changes required to chan_dahdi.c below:
> ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/linux/custom/DavidYS/asterisk.libwat.patch (tested against SVN rev:359905)
> Suggestions and comments are welcome.
> PS: I was not able to login on the reviewboard.asterisk.org with my JIRA credentials, can someone tell me how I can get an account to post on reviewboard.asterisk.org. Thanks
