Not a typo, just a misreading of the bug report on my part. It has been
closed, and I haven't tried the 1.6 branch since then. I may have to try
it again when I get some time. As has been pointed out in this thread,
the time is required to convert my dialplan. I'm just a small home
operation so it isn't that important to me to be running the latest and
greatest as long as what I have works, and my wife is in the middle of a
political campaign so this is a bad time to have the phones be
unreliable. It was already a big time sink to convert from zaptel to
dahdi and get everything working, so I expect a significant period of
disruption in order to upgrade to 1.6.? When it becomes hard to find 1.4
packages for up-to-date OS's is when I will be motivated to upgrade (and
after the election in November when the campaign season is over).
