Hi dryPants...

Do you have some other good advices for me?

Yes. Python is a very strict language and has libraries for just about anything that anyone in the coding industry is likely to encounter.

Before deciding to hammer any hardware, (and yes I have done much in this area), experiment coding for something less likely to cause you serious headaches.

Once you feel confident try experimenting with an Arduino, USB type, as an example.

In *NIX flavours it is easy to R/W from/to even with shell scripting. I have uploaded much code to do this mainly in Python for multi-platform use, (including a serial port stock AMIGA A1200 with HW mods to the USB Arduino), I love "banging the metal"...

I personally love assembly but........
......don't expect to get to Ring 0 directly in current OSes you WILL have serious headaches finding that you can't. The days of MS-DOS where BIOS and other assembly access and calls are long gone.

Study things like ISA, PCI bus design and limitations as examples then progress to current technology. I studied the PCI slot for months only to realise my limitations at home built hardware was way beyond any beginners scope.

Hope this helps...

What is eXosip
       libeXosip2 implements the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP -rfc3261-) libeXosip2 is GPL (COPYING). Please understand the licencing details
       before using it!

       For any use of this library beyond the rights granted to you by the GPL license, please contact my company at jack@atosc.org.

What is the relation between osip &; eXosip2
       The GNU osip stack is the first step needed to implement SIP applications. As a low layer stack, there is no limitation in the way to use
       it, but the very large API makes it rather complex and not suitable for beginners.

       The eXtended eXosip library is based on osip and implements a lot more SIP stuff so you can quickly build compliant SIP applications. The
       API is enough flexible to allow you to control and complete SIP messages. Thus, it keeps the stack extensible.

       While osip can be used for any SIP applications, eXosip2 only provide APIs to control endpoints.

What is SIP
       SIP is an IP telephony protocol made by the IETF. It is an effort to create a simple (telephony is never simple) and powerful protocol for
       next generation telephony systems.

SIP features
       SIP is not just about telephony. It's much more that what you expect from phones. SIP means mobility, video, textual call information, file
       exchange, instant messaging, presence support and much more!

eXosip2 is free software
       As eXosip2 is GPL, you MUST choose to release your SIP applications based on eXosip2 under the GPL license.

       For any use of this library beyond the rights granted to you by the GPL license, please contact my company at jack@atosc.org.

       With oSIP (which is LGPL), you still have the choice to implement close source application and link with oSIP. For the benefit of the
       community (and for your own benefit), please consider implementing your application in GPL.

       Still with osip, you have to respect the license terms. Mainly, users of your software must be able to fix bugs in osip themselves. (they
       must have the source code, be able to compile it and link your product with the new version.)

Thanks
       Thanks to all the contributors and to all bug reporters. Enjoy osip!
