So SIP doesn't work on dialup? That's funny 'cause I'm using it like that...

I didn't mean to infer that that's all that IAX was or that was all the
community had accomplished. If you read back in the thread, I'm responding
to someone who said something to effect of "we don't need to be a standard
'cause we're just that good". I think that's a shortsighted approach. That's
all. If you don't agree that having IAX ratified into a standard would be a
help, well, that's where we differ.
