The problem is that then I would have to patch chan_zap and chan_misdn and
anyother
isdn channel. Also due to license, not that i wouldn't like too, my code
won't go into
the asterisk repository, so i'll have to worry about each change in them and
maintain
multiple versions.. not sounds good to me..
