[asterisk-dev] Two issues with Asterisk 1.4

[Fernando Urzedo]

Hi Steve,

Yeah, before the upgrade, all the Asterisk instances were sending
voicemail alerts. We migrated to Asterisk 1.4 in order to have a more
recent software available, specially regarding to queues, and because
Asterisk 1.2 is no longer been updated with new funcionality.

Thanks!

No answers here, but I am very curious.

Was the system working the way you wanted before the upgrade?  Were
there features that you needed in 1.4.X?

Thanks,
