[Freeswitch-dev] New "mod_dahdi_timer" - does the community want this?

[Anthony Minessale]

Moises,

Does libsangoma have a way to open a generic socket to get timing from in
this manner?
Ideally if we could get this into mod_freetdm we could make it auto set the
timer_name variable in the new channels from the tdm source and have
mod_conference auto set the timer as well if the first caller has a certain
variable set.
