That is doing auditing, then does other stuff, then hands it over to the subsystem, once the subsystem is done, we can hand it to the next one or close (leaving SMS during a phonecall out of the picture). > > >> 3.) better lchan management and this is where encyrption comes >> in.

Oh, I didn't know that, that is funny. Well we have two settings here... one is if we want encryption on, the second is if that subscriber can do encryption. With what I have in mind, you would get the subscriber connection (currently embedded in the lchan) on a new connection and then your function can decide to close the channel, or to secure it and then hand it to someone else.
