They do if Asterisk is runnin on the slug.

What he meant was perfectly clear to *me*, Kristian; I'm not sure why
you didn't understand him.

The shipped interface may not utilize Java, but your assertion means
that *no* current-day browser could operate a slug, which seems like a
misstatement to me...

He's compiling his softphone, so that it does not have endianness
problems which are exposed by connecting it to an Asterisk instance
running on a slug, which is opposite-endian from most PC's, IIRC.

Of course, if Asterisk *exposes* underlying endianness issues, it's
broken...
