Ok, I think what should rather happen is that the RTP proxy should be moved
into your MGCP process, as the RTP code should be a separate process anyway.

yes, thanks for your consideration :)

this is fine.  On a side note, the 'src' directory is getting quite a bit
full and chaotic now.  I think we should probably converge around something
where we have src/common for common code, and then something like one directory
for each program that we build. i.e. something like

src/common
src/libbsc
src/bsc_hack
src/ipaccess-config
src/bs11-config
src/bsc_mgcp

Regards,
