No offense, Steve, but the exact same words apply to h323, odbc, isdn
cards, Nufone, etc, for a lot of the rest of us. However, historically 
we've simply been deleting posts of no interest (to many, but certainly 
not all).

After many many years of using various Internet resources, it is simply
amazing how many people on this _user_ list try to re-define the 
purpose of the list (to their liking), exactly how people should post 
(to make _their_ reader more convenient for them), etc.

What has been rather interesting is the broadvoice change seems to 
indicate there is a * sip & dns issue that has not yet been 
sufficiently documented to enter a bug report. (Example: given a
type=user and type=peer sip context, broadvoice incoming calls actually
use the type=peer context. What?)

So, for those that don't have any interest in the broadvoice interface
topic, find your delete key. Its not all that hard, really.
