[Asterisk-Dev] SS7 for *

[Steve Underwood]

Hi Ben

Have you bought into the hype about internet time? :-)

I said it was being tested, and it is. SS7 is quite big, so you don't 
give it a quick try and say all is well. It is functioning well enough 
to be handling traffic at a test site in Europe. Give it a few more 
weeks, and a solid polished solution should be available.

Regards,
Steve
