[Freeswitch-dev] FreeSWITCH SS7 stack

[Shane Burrell]

Trust me AT&T doesn't have free docs. There are hundreds of ANSI SS7  
docs and they put alot of work and money to make sure you can't get  
them via google search.   Much of it is not in ITU but many ITU switch  
support ANSI features such as Class 5.  Even with the ITU docs in hand  
you'll need a large team to get it complete enough for Class 4/5  
operations anytime soon.
