[Asterisk-Users] MSN Messenger 4.7 vs 5.0

[Klaus Darilion]

Correct, MSN Messenger 5.0 does not support SIP. But the upcoming
Windows Messenger 5.0 will do. I have installed the beta version from:
http://msnarea.ezonate.co.uk/?act=downloads&CODE=01&cat=1

I think, the new version supports more codecs.

regards,
Klaus
