Bugger!  I should have noted the 'sccp show channels' command.
I tend to swap skinny/SCCP automatically, since Cisco uses
both in the documentation, and had it in my head that he
meant skinny....

Yes, chan_skinny in 1.4.7+ has had major love applied.  I only
have a couple test phones hooked up for development, so my
impression of stability is not worth much, but I think we
have managed to fix up the most hideous bugs.

If we can keep up the pace, chan_skinny in 1.6 is going to rock.


Sorry for the confusion.
