[Asterisk-Users] AArgh, * and the 7960

A TDMoE link between two * boxes will not retime *everything* passing between 
them?!

Actually, and I do not mean to be rude here, but if you're using * in a 
production environment you are already part of the problem -- * has never 
claimed to be production ready.  I use it in a production environment, Jeremy 
McNamara does, many people do but if it doesn't work it's not suddenly 
someone else's problem that beta/alpha software is not "production ready."

I am positive that a TDMoE link between *1 and *2 will re-time everything 
passing between them since you are converting from RTP to TDM and back to RTP 
(in the case of SIP on each end, or even SIP on one and IAX2 on the other, 
although IAX2 does not use RTP you're still completely retiming 
everything)...  Worth a shot anyway, innit?
