[Freeswitch-users] openzap and progress detection

[François Delawarde]

I briefly looked at the code, so I will then answer my own questions
from what i understood (and I didn't understand much). Please correct me
if I'm wrong (see inline answers).

A new question would then be: Are any of those features planned for the
future of OpenZAP?

No.

Yes.

No.

No.

No / No idea / No idea

No.

You're welcome!
