I could have made myself clearer.

What is in the bug tracker helps make things clearer to people who know 
what they are doing. What we need is something that makes things clear 
to laymen. Saying internally and externally clocked doesn't cut it. It 
needs to be made clear to laymen that clocking internally is rarely 
right; that slaving to a PBX, when there is also a PSTN connection is 
almost never right; that the PSTN is the grand master of the telecoms 
universe, and all Asterisk boxes should be its slave.

I think my explanations earlier in this thread were fairly explicit, and 
I assume Jean-Yves is not an idiot. He still didn't understand what I 
intended. This thing needs to be *really* explicit, as I am getting 
really sick and tired of people getting it wrong and blaming my software.

Regards,
Steve
