# The cat in Aastra 2.2 SIP Software

 By: Mark Lindsey

The Aastra 57i 2.2 software has this ASCII art embedded:

```
|                ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._         |   Line         (`6_ 6  )   `-.  (     ).`-.__.`) |  Manager      (_Y_.)'  ._   )  `._ `. ``-..-'   |               _..`--'_..-_/  /--'_.' ,'              |              (il),-''  (li),'  ((!.-'        
```

Is it a Cat? Or is it a Pig?
