Yeah, sorry. Bad of me. I always assume people know what's in my head
when I write something!

3rd Edition:

1. For a start I would really like to see PRI/BRI stuff in the 3rd
edition. Even just using x-over cables.
2. Something about testing ;-) Heh.
3. Something about benchmarking and call capacities on a modern *
system. I think this may be covered already though.


Advanced:

1. An Advanced edition may cover something about OpenSIPS or Kamailio
and other sip proxies using Asterisk.
2. Linking different PBXs together.

My understanding of advanced, may be someones "beginner" and vice
versa, so I'll leave that up to you.

That's about it until it comes to a point where you'd need a book per topic.

Thanks.
