[Serusers] How to test SIP with TCP?

[Pat Wang]

Thanks very much Klaus,

I am not clear how to set these UAs (Xten-pro, cisco phones, and the Windows 
Messanger, etc) to use TCP only. Could you please explain a little more? By 
the way, recent Windows Messanger no longer support SIP except the earlier 
4.6 version, right?

Thanks

Pat
