VoIP will be utilized via a plugin, and the plugin I'm making will link to 
Helix.  It is a non-generic plugin, like the older qssl.  What I mean is, the 
application is prepared only for a specific capability, and will use it if 
the plugin is present.

Security is highly important to me, and so Iris will likely support this 
internally.  No need for a plugin.  Well, no need for a plugin beyond QCA 
plugins, I should say. :)  We were talking about having S/MIME in QCA 2.
