Well, I just downloaded the new 1.7 build from their website (from the
same page that states the above), and I see what you mean.

When I first ran the new version, it still used my old settings, and
successfully connected to my Asterisk server.

I looked in the Options dialog, and as you say, there is no third
party option at all, only the option to connect to the Firefly network.

Moreover, when I changed an unrelated option (sound output device), it
then overwrote my settings in the registry with new settings for the
Firefly network, Freshtel.

Not impressed. Especially since in their FAQ they still explicitly say it
can be used with Asterisk systems.

Cheers
