It hasn't > been upgraded to get the fix for a few months - 1.609 has the fix. at the moment, f11 has asterisk-1.6.1-0.23.rc1.fc11.x86_64 on my system, so i'm guessing that doesn't have the aforementioned bug. and as for testing this on something other than an F11 system, actually, i'm pre-pub tech reviewing an upcoming asterisk book and part of my duties is to verify that at least the first few exercises work on fedora, so i really have some incentive to make sure this works on fedora. :-) at the moment, it *appears* that my problem is that asterisk has been broken down into numerous packages for fedora packaging, and i need to determine what packages to install along with the core package mentioned above. that means that i'm going to end up suggesting some text along the lines of, "if you're trying to play with asterisk on fedora 11, it's not enough to just install the base package, you'll need to install a number of other packages," followed by some kind of recipe for determining which ones. so if someone has been down that road already, i'm open to suggestions. otherwise, i'll just play until i figure it out. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
