That's definitely not a problem, at all, IMHO.

Here in Brazil we still have to handle absurd situations regarding R2  
signaling. In fact, that's the very reason why Digium, Sangoma or  
whatever company does not sell more boards around here. Just a tiny  
fraction of people here can afford and easily get a decent ISDN  
connection. I've worked on a project that even used Steve's Unicall  
in the great majority of clients (like... 150, yeah). And that was a  
Telco company.

It's really really great to hear about Moises plan, though I'm not  
sure if a software based R2 solution is the best approach and I'm  
taking it with a grain of salt. There are at least 3 companies  
selling Asterisk-compatible boards with R2 done builtin, in hardware,  
witch has proved to be much more stable, well supported and scalable  
than anything else.

Moises, do you already have something for testing or have you just  
started thinking about it? Vapourware or real stuff, another  
brazilian guy monitoring this list has already forward your message  
to the Asterisk Brasil list :-)
