Re: Help with changing SIP Stack Request retransmit setting

I suggest you put a counter into  *your* version of 
SIPClientTransaction.java which retransmits the request exactly 4 times 
and then does not call sendRequest thereafter. This change will not be 
considered for incorporation into the code base so you should plan on 
keeping a local copy and cvs updating in case there are any changes in 
the repository.
