Hah. Now my job involves talking about * all day.

As some of you may remember, I work with VoIP (aka Internet Telephony) now. One of the products I have to deal with on a daily basis is called "Asterisk." As such, I had to join mailing lists for technical discussion of the aforementioned software.

Here is a sample of a message in one of such lists:

> If they aren't going out as T38 then what are they going out as?

They must be bypassing * then. * has no way to pass-through a UDPTL stream right now. I don't see how it would even bypass a T.38 stream, though. It lacks the ability to negotiate one.

1. Do you actually say ...

"AWOL bush" in place of the "*" ?

That's what I hear in my head when I read it.

2. That conjures the image of us trusting our telephone traffic to Bush.

No thanks. :scared:
