[Asterisk-Dev] Dev call 1.2 release discussion

[Steve Underwood]

Brian is absolutely right. Hopefully T.38 will be an easy add on for 
1.2, but going in a solid stable part of 1.2 is not realistic.

The T.38 spec is very open ended. Implementations vary a lot, and many 
vendors implementations simply don't work. It will take a while to 
stabilise useful T.38 support for *. I am assuming the first release of 
my stuff will leave development somewhere near the beginning, rather 
than somewhere near the end. If two T.38 boxes communicate reliably it 
is the result of luck, rather than judgement.

Regards,
Steve
