Brain,

As you already know, the timestamp problem with cisco phones dropping
packets has been associated with at least two channels. There are lots
of folks with iax links to external machines that none of us have any
control over, and in many cases, the people managing those external
machines are not in a position to update their code just because "I"
have a problem with audio on my Cisco phone.

I've got the problem with multiple systems (not under my control) and
the path of least resistance to continue using * with 7960's is to
remove the rtp.c timestamp code. Nufone has updated their code, but many 
others have not.
