*Discussion*

Ben T., Steve, and Jeff King did Session interoperability testing on Monday,
March 21. The main problem seems to be SER not supporting strict routing;
[ACTION] Ben T. will work on configuring SER to get Session to work with it.
[ACTION] Ben T. will send the list the new Session download URL. [ACTION]
Candace will try registering Session with SWD [?] and Harvard's Goliath 
service.
The group agreed to schedule further Session testing for Monday, March 28.

Candace has been experimenting with the PROTOS SIP client testing suite, which
is written in Java. She has installed it on a server at Harvard with the
intention of using it for PALS testing. The group agreed that this would be
useful. See http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/ouspg/protos/testing/c07/sip/.
