[Asterisk-Users] Re: call progress - what are the sticking points?

[Stephen David]

i don't have a specific bug in mind, i was just wondering WHY call progress doesn't work so well -- in particular, on analog lines.  ie. is it a hardware or software problem (or both).  with more info, i'd like to help to work out the kinks, for myself and everyone.  :)

not sure what you mean by 'lost the .call files feature', but if you have a specific bug to post, i think it would be great if you posted it.
