well, here is the right place for the questions :)

yes, that is true and I can say it from my own experience

let me check this - but can you briefly explain what you tried to do there?

I like the idea, and I would really like to do a brain storming on this, 
to see what should be the right approach on this.


Right now, as working on the net/transport layer, the protocols are 
defined as dynamic libs exporting some API (like function to init 
socket, read, write). So, you can build a dummy proto to take messages 
from files or something like that - that will make much easier to inject 
a package into opensips.

Bogdan
