Hello

If, before writing the post on the list see the source code in svn but 
you have not program in C and do not fully understand it. I have also 
been looking catches tcpdump or similar to this, to see if some examples 
could understand, but I have not really got :-(.

 From what I understood (probably wrong):
- Byte 0: number (size) of samples per channel.
- Byte 1: Alarms.
- Byte 2-3: Timer. Auto-increment value of what was sent?. I do not 
understand this
- Byte 4-5: Number of channels in the message.
- Byte 6 ...:
- Rest: Messaging

Can get messages from various channels in the same package TDMoE? If so, 
byte 0 would apply to all channels even though they are smaller and are 
filled in with null values is that correct?. Byte 4, 5 and 6, I do not 
have very clear ...

I will try to mount an asterisk and I'll set TDMoE test to see if I can 
catch some tmdoe and try analyze. thanks.

Greetings
