 Current Plan
.............

This package, which contains hard-switch or MG capabilities is not
currently planned.  Of priority is the production deployment of
soft-switch or MGC and Signalling Gateway components from the
`sigtran', `strss7' and `strvoip' packages.  This package will only
receive maintenance releases until those priorities have been
sufficiently met (over the course of Summer 2007).

 Things to Do
.............

   - Testing.  This package is completely untested.

     This remains to be done.

   - Actually implement all of the package.

   - Copy all of the channel drivers, multiplexers and switching
     drivers as well as media gateway drivers from the strss7 package
     and place it here.

     Note that this package should load before the strxns package
     because it provides channels that can be used for hdlc links and
     data links and the strxns package provides the CDI and DLPI
     interfaces.  It is possible that the CDI interface should be moved
     here.
