[App_rpt-users] Beagleboard and USB URI dongle

Chan_simpleusb *DOES* support DTMF. All channel drivers do. Supporting it has nothing to do with
the channel driver.

Zaptel and app_rpt WONT RUN ON MOST LOW-END ARCHITECTURES.
Especially the Blackfin and the MIPS. It wont work in a Linsys router.

Also, Jon, remember that a load average of 1.2 on a dual-core system is
only 60% of the CPU, *NOT* 120%.

Im suprised that it was that loaded with 4 devices. It really shoudnt be.
