[Asterisk-Users] Re: Fw: Asterisk R2 Signaling

[Steve Underwood]

This is complete rubbish. The default for that code is China R1, 
although some measure of partial support for Argentina in in there too. 
I wrote that code, and it is useless. It works as well for incoming 
calls as it does for outgoing - its useless. When I did a proper 
implementation of R2 signalling after I wrote the code in Digium's CVS I 
started again from scratch. If anyone else would like to implement R2 I 
suggest they do the same.

I really wish Mark would remove this from CVS, as It just keeps 
inspiring these useless exchanges.

Regards,
Steve
