kazaa meets telephony...  i like it.  i'll think about some of this in its
potential application to IAX2, for more practical uses, too, although I
don't see IAX2 assimilating all of TRIP's functionality, but the ability
to plug a phone into a LAN and automatically have it know the dialplan
would be handy, as would being able to setup a distributed network of
Asterisk servers with no centralized authority.
