Ah, but the issue here is that your questions seemed to indicate you
haven't even read the basic information on the site iself (i.e. the
manual), as even I (just started actively looking in to Asterisk 4 or 5
days ago) was able to find the answers to the questions you asked...

I do not recall the exact questions, but I do remember agreeing with the
conclusion that you apparently hadn't done any actual research, based on
the questions you asked...
Had I had some more time on my hands at that time, I would have replied,
but as I am usually very busy, and din't have the answers ready from the
top of my head at that time, I didn't...

I do agree that the reaction was a bit ott, but in the basis correct...
Sorry!

I do wish you good luck implementing *, because I am confident this has a
lot of potential...

God bless!

(PS: Can we please play nice now? I left my flame-retardant gear at the
firestation when I quit as a volunteer!)
