That is just a definition problem.... how do you define "real soft
switch"??

Sure, this would be a plus... but we all know linux is the only platform
that matters... (JOKING, stop now, don't reply email about this!)

Ummm, but zaptel drivers are only software, especially when you consider
ztdummy + linux 2.6.x.
So, it really is a soft switch :)

Either way, I really don't see that this would be a small enough change
to say that we should complete this before releasing 1.2. IMHO, the ONLY
things that should be completed before a 1.2 release are the ones that
are already mostly done, ie, why wait another 3 months just because xyz
isn't done yet? plus of course bug fixes.

I hope we would see a 1.2 release within the next 2 - 3 months (random
time) because it has been a long time since the last release. At this
stage, we should be releasing frequantly... once the dev cycle slows,
and we are mostly just bug fixing with the occassional new feature, then
a release once per year or even 18mths would be more expected....

Just my 2c of course :)

Adam
