[asterisk-users] dCAP Exam

[Danny Nicholas]

Since Digium's contribution to Asterisk (hardware-wise) is Analog DAHDI
cards, this makes sense (to me).  I suppose they could make a DCAP exam that
just used SIP trunks and softphones, but then that would just be GCAP
(Generic Certified Asterisk Professional) or SCAP (SIP Certified Asterisk
Professional).  Just my .02.

Not that I would ever consider taking an exam like that, but I have been 
using/configuring asterisk since nearly the beginning of this mailing 
list, and I have never touched dahdi or polycom. Someone should still be 
able to pass an exam without knowing about specific hardware where there 
is more than one alternative to use in real configurations.
