I don't suppose you can enlighten me by giving me his Email address?   
If not, then would
you please ask him to contact me?  I want to see if I can help out if I can.

No problem - Cocoa has an excellent GUI.

Isn't this what reSIProcate is?   But at this stage, I'm still trying to 
figure out what
a SIP Stack is.   Any references to a description would be greatly 
appreciated.  The
"wiki" link that was given to me,  didn't have anything on it.

Whatever that is...   is this in the reSIProcate?  or do I have to look 
elsewhere for
one.

Yes - I have yet to find one of these....   care to tell me where I can 
find one?

Like database interface for address books,  etc.

Yes - I think I figured that out.   And I could really use some help to find
the "other parts".....  I don't suppose you could help me identify the rest?

yes - but from what I've read so far,  it's virtually impossble for me 
to identify
who is working on what part - because the discussions are so specific to 
very
specific parts of the project, and I'm incapable to finding the forest 
through
the trees if you get the gest.

Anyway - Thanx for the information.... Awaiting your info on how I can 
contact
Robert Sparks.;..   if he's on the list - he hasn't posted anything 
since I joined,
but I'll look over my past Emails just to be sure.   Just checked - 
Robert hasn't
posted anything yet.
