Written by Mark Spencer <markster@digium.com>



What is libpri?

===============



libpri is a C implementation of the Primary Rate ISDN specification.  It was

based on the Bellcore specification SR-NWT-002343 for National ISDN.  As of

May 12, 2001, it has been tested work with NI-2, Nortel DMS-100, and 

Lucent 5E Custom protocols on switches from Nortel and Lucent.



What is the license for libpri?

===============================

which permit its use and linking with other GPL'd software only.  

The GNU GPL is included in the file LICENSE in this directory.
