[Asterisk-Users] [Release] Skinny Support in cvs

[Matthew Enger]

JT,

not sure if you are aware or not, but you can get an SIP image for the
7905G, i am running it and it works great. The image has been available
for about 2 weeks now.

Even so, having skinny support will certainly make things easier:)
