Well, it doesn't work for me that is.

1) The example "MessageCenter" that shipped wouldn't compile
because it had the wrong libraries. I changed the library
from libphonekit to libphone, and it compiled.

2) MessageCenter now crashes whenever incoming calls arrive.

3) Giving up on this nice example, I've been struggling along
with the flakiness of the phonekit.

The flakiness could be due to the fact that I don't know what
the hell I'm doing however...

In any event, my NXPhoneCall subclass is implimenting ALL
of the notification messages.

- dialToneReceived
- dialingComplete
- remotePickup
- remoteHangup
- toneReceived
- remoteRing
- callReleased
- remoteBusy

However, it never recieves notification of:

- remotePickup
- remoteRing
- dialingComplete
- remoteBusy

But it gets all of the others nicely...


Why would half of the methods get called, and half not?
I know for sure that the call is getting through, because
I'm calling our other line and answering the damn phone
myself. I hang it up then, or hit some buttons first,
and get the - tone... and -remoteHangup messages, but
I don't get the others.

Is there anyone else out there having problems with this
stuff? Can someone please give me some hints?

I'm in Canada, and I'm using an ISDN Extender on 
a POTS line.

(Wishing I had $225 so NeXT could tell me what's going on)
