Re: release of SIP Communicator 1.0-alpha1 (nist-sip)

First, a hearty congratulations to a very hardworking bunch of  hackers. 
I dont pass out compliments easily but hats off to you guys. I'll vouch 
for the "Wow" factor of  SIP-COMMUNICATOR. I highly recommend test 
driving it and contributing to it. Lots of interesting technologies 
bundled there. It goes a lot  beyond  SIP Communications and hence the 
name is somewhat misleading. It should be called "communicator" but I 
think Microsoft and Netscape may feel threatened. :-)   Note that Emil 
has made substantial contributions to the NIST-SIP project. He 
contributed much of the TCK for version 1.1 which formed the basis for 
version 1.2.

Rock and roll guys!
