[Asterisk-Users] The BV patch: Some notes

Olle,

Based on what you know and have experienced, would you care to guess at
whether this patch should be applied to an * server that has a registered
IP address?

I'm toying with the idea of waiting for the patch to be incorporated into
the cvs and not trying to maintain special patch levels, etc.
