Re: [Sipp-users] Can sipp call rate and call parameter be controlled by external script/program

Hi Charles,
Thanks for the reply. I have few more queries to get
my understanding right. Please find them inline.

Can I tell sipp, not to make next call, until I am ready again?

I will study 3PCC in more details, but can I pass the parameter from
my external script to 3PCC?

I believe this is alternative to my socket based approach. However if
3PCC approach works, I may not need to need this. In any case, could you
please point me to the files, that I should start looking at?

I see. Thanks for making me aware of this fact.
