[asterisk-dev] ExternalIVR with sockets on release 1.6.2.0

[Chris Tooley]

Dan,

I'm pretty sure that what's in trunk will work fine against 1.6.2, I'd
venture to say you could probably pull the app_externalivr.c out of
trunk and use it in 1.6.2. NOTE and WARNING: This is absolutely not
true for everything or even most things, in fact it might not be true
for anything.

I've put ExternalIVR to extensive use previously, doing some of the
original broken tcp socket development. You can blame me for the state
of 1.6's version.
