No GR.303 support.
Actually, I have been working on an SS7 stack for asterisk called libss7. SS7 support is already in trunk, and should be in the next stable release of Asterisk. Right now it only does ISUP/MTP3/MTP2, but with some work an effort, SCCP/TCAP/LNP support could be implemented as well. Asterisk has had GR.303 support for a while, though I don't think it's asymmetric (it only supports one particular function of it, or something like that IIRC). -- Matthew Fredrickson Software/Firmware Engineer Digium, Inc. _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
