[asterisk-users] Recipe: Automatically Create Dial-able Extensions For Skype Callers

2009-09-20 Thread Steven Sokol
Here's a link to a blog post that details how to automatically generate
alias extension numbers for Skype callers.  Since most phones won't let you
type long a complex text strings, this makes it much easier to call back to
folks on the Skype network.

http://ssokol.blogspot.com/2009/09/automatic-asterisk-extensions-for-skype.html

Enjoy,

[asterisk-users] AstriCon 2008 - Two Weeks To Go - Register Today

2008-09-09 Thread Steven Sokol
Asterisk Users  -

Just a reminder that we're now only two weeks away from the kick-off
of AstriCon 2008.  This year's show is looking really good: at this
point we're expecting over 700 Asterisk users, developers, and
resellers.  There are currently 60 presentations scheduled, including
keynotes from Brian Aker from MySQL and Stefan Öberg from Skype.  The
exhibit floor has expanded with more than 30 vendors.  The CodeZone
(the development lab and lounge) will have more gear than ever before
-- Digium is providing a huge array of servers, desktops and cards,
plus many of the exhibitors have agreed to sacrifice hardware and
software to the cause.

If you've never been to an AstriCon before, ask some of those who
have: it's a great opportunity to meet other Asterisk users, recruit
talent, expand your sales channel and have a great time.  The content
is 100% on-target coverage of Asterisk or related industry
events/trends (with far less sales pitch than most conferences).
The exhibit hall vendors are all offering goods and services that are
relevant to the Asterisk users, developers or resellers.

Register here:  http://www.astricon.net/2008/glendale/web/attendRegister.php

If you've not yet registered, please get signed up as soon as
possible.  The main hotel is rapidly running out of rooms --
fortunately there are plenty of alternate hotels within walking
distance.  Remember that prices go up by $100 once the conference has
started.

Thanks,

-S

[asterisk-users] AstriCon Europe 2007

2007-02-26 Thread Steven Sokol

Dear Asterisk Community,

As some of you may know, we have held Asterisk conferences (AstriCons)
in Europe the past two years.  This year we are considering hosting
another event, this time in Milan, Italy in late June.  We would like
to know how many members of the European Asterisk community would be
interested in attending.

The Milan event would last a total of two days and would include an
Asterisk trade fair, tutorials, key-note addresses, industry
perspectives and the ever popular Code Zone (a hacker's lounge).
Topics would include both technical and business items.  Tickets will
sell for the same price as last year: 550 EUR.

If you would be interested in attending as a delegate, as a speaker or
as an exhibitor, please send an email to:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Let us know what you would like to see, if the location and dates work
for you.  We will be making a final decision later this week.

Best Regards,

Steve

[Asterisk-Users] AstriCon Paris Starts Wednesday

2006-06-20 Thread Steven Sokol

Just a quick reminder that AstriCon Paris starts on Wednesday morning
at the Palais des Congres de Paris.  The advanced team is already
there and getting things ready to go.

Things are wrapping up at AstriCon Berlin right now.  It's been a
blast.  Yesterday's tutorials went well: many people learned many new
things about Asterisk.  Last night we had a party at the C-Base space
station (C-Base is a computer and sci-fi club).  Many thanks for a
great time!  Today we had long list of innovative and informative
presentations.  Thank you to the Asterisk users of Berlin for a great
time.

If you're in the Paris metropolitan area, please join us for a great
show.  We now have one-day tickets on sale for those who cannot make
it for both.

Thanks,

[Asterisk-Users] AstriCon Europe Update - 6 Weeks To Go

2006-05-16 Thread Steven Sokol

Greetings Asterisk Users:

The AstriCon Europe Tour is now only six weeks away.  AstriCon Berlin
is scheduled for June 19 - 20, AstriCon Paris for June 22 - 23, and
AstriCon London for June 26 - 27.  Most of the speaking slots are now
filled (though we have room for a limited number of tutorials if you
feel like teaching) and the lineup looks great.  Join us for Asterisk
tutorials, presentations, announcements and meet other Asterisk users
from across the globe.

We now have a detailed schedule posted.  Each of the three European
events lasts two days.  The first day includes two tutorial tracks:
Developer and Asterisk 101.  The first option is the
Developer/Advanced Track, which includes the developer meeting, a
development tutorial lead by Kevin Fleming of Digium, and a number of
technical presentations by developers and gurus.  The second option is
the beginner or introductory track which includes Asterisk 101 -- an
overview of the capabilities and functions of Asterisk, Telephony 101
by David Duffett of Aculab, and other tutorials for the new Asterisk
user.

The second day of each event includes a keynote from Asterisk creator
Mark Spencer, and a series of presentations by international Asterisk
gurus.  Check out the current schedule for each of the three events on
our site for a list of presentations.  Some of the headliners include:
Matt Riddel of Sineapps, Tim Panton of Mexuar, Alec Saunders of Iotum,
David Troy of PopVox, Serge Kruppa of Simitel, and Jason Goecke of
Presence Technology.

The Asterisk Expo is also starting to fill up.  We currently have 12
exhibitors registered for the tour.  We do have room for a few
additional exhibitors, so please contact us as soon as possible if you
would like to exhibit.  The Expo, which will be open both days of each
event, has a great mix of products and services.  Several vendors have
hinted at new products to be launched during the tour, so be sure to
drop in and see the latest in Asterisk stuff.

If you need a hotel room at the event we now have a travel partner who
can find you a place to stay (event at Berlin with the World Cup).
Please contact Debbie Coley of Specialty Travel Services at +1 618 257
1164 or by email at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Please make
your reservations (and book your seat at AstriCon) as soon as possible
as space is limited.

 Hi,
 
 I'm taking a straw-poll to see who out there is planning on going to
 AstriCon.  I would like to hear from both new members of the community

 Conference?  What topics are good BOF (Birds Of a Feather - informal

 attention?
 
 FYI - AstriCon is October 12 - 14 in Anaheim.  For more information on
 what we currently have planned, see the web site (listed below).
 

So far we've had at least one person indicate that they would not want
to travel to the US at this time.  All politics aside, how many out
there feel the same way?  I do NOT want to start a polical flame-war,
but I am curious at the number of people who simply won't come to the
States due to the current Administration, the Iraq war, or some other
reason.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Who is going to AstriCon (The Asterisk Conference)?

2005-09-17 Thread Steven Sokol
[snip]

 As for topics, I enjoyed Madrid, but feel there are 2 tracks to be
 seen there:
  1) pragmatists - What can I do with Asterisk? Business Drivers.
 For them you want case studies, some forward looking announcements, and
 loads of demos of edgy configs. Plus economics - eg 8 line PRI costs
 £13/month/channel in the UK - but 40 in France (or what ever)

True.  We do have some business-focus.  A few of both the tutorials
and the conference sessions are business topics and industry
perspectives.  We want to strike a comfortable balance between the
entrepreneurial community and the hard-core technical community (which
is in some ways a challenge).

  2) Developers - We want a chance to hack code with our cohort -
 the most productive thing in Madrid for me was 2 mins of Mark's time
 expaining why I had misunderstood IAX2 protocol.
 For this I think you could have a coding day, coffee pizza, good
 internet
 and a sprinkling of gurus, I think you'd get loads of projects
 started/finished/polished.

That is an awesome suggestion!  We'll do it!  We have a room we've
labeled the Email Garden.  We'll rename it the Code Domain or
something and try to get at least one guru to man the desk in there,
dispensing advice as well as pizza and Red Bull.  The room was already
set to look like a big living room with lots of wired and wireless. 
We'll just turn it into a coding center.  We can even bring in some
hardware so people can lab up scenarios which require a full
Asterisk with TDM cards, etc.

(Anybody out there want to volunteer to bring in the hardware?)

-S


 
 I'm not saying you want to separate these two, it is great to have
 the suits and
 geeks meet, but you do want to have some specialization in the sessions.
 
 Just my thoughts,
 
 Keep up the good work.

  FYI - AstriCon is October 12 - 14 in Anaheim.  For more information on
  what we currently have planned, see the web site (listed below).

Cool!  Thank you very much for bringing those!  We'll be able to lock
the room up at night, so that helps.

 
 Perhaps someone with less distance to travel will supply the PCs?
 

Actually, we have a group that's renting us PCs for 125/week.  (Nice
systems - P4, 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD).  Perhaps (pardon the
commericalism on this non-commercial list) some group out there would
like to sponsor the rental of two or three of these guys?

Otherwise, anyone in the LA area have PCs to bring?

 It might be nice to have con for each coast?  Maybe each region?
 (Boston, Atlanta, and uhtwo large cities out west :-))  It's a lot
 of work ,but you might get a better turn out because people won't have
 to travel to Atlanta or someplace like that

We've talked about doing several smaller events, but doing more than
one full-fledged AstriCon per year in the US is cost and time
prohibitive.  The conference will have something like 50 speakers, 25
- 30 exhibitors, 15 staff members.  It takes about 6 months of
planning to arrange something like this.

Olle and I have talked with the Digium guys about doing road shows
for Asterisk.  Not so much of a Conference, but a regional or even
local event that's a combination of our one-day introductory class
(yes, commercial -- bad Steven, bad!), a users meeting (code session,
gab session, Q  A with Kevin or Mark or Olle or someone) and a chance
for local Asterisk vendors to show off their products, services, etc.

The question is, which better suits the Asterisk community and
business ecosystem (and we have to try to cover both).  The big
conference is great because you get 500+ Asterisk people in one place
at one time.  The local events are great because people don't have to
make hotel and airline arrangements, be out of the office for most of
a week, etc.

Thoughts?

 Olle and I had discussed something like that previously as well... but
 our concern was that the people who would want to be in there (the
 'gurus' especially) would have other places to be on every other show
 day already :-)

Well, I think we could probably find a roster of gurus who can each
take a short shift (volunteers?), plus it still works as a place for
coders to gather and work together on issues, review each other's code
(Extreme Programming, anyone?) and swill high voltage beverages.

Several people have already pinged me and said that this sounds cool. 
I know several of the guys in your office (specifically Matt
Fredrickson and Matt Nicholson) said that their ideal AstriCon event
was a code-in (imagine 50 Asterisk fanatics in bean-bag chairs on
the floor coding away).

I have also had several offers of hardware (including yours -- thank
you very much!) so we should be able to make it work.

 
  (Anybody out there want to volunteer to bring in the hardware?)
 
 If this idea takes off, I'm sure Digium can arrange to bring TDM cards
 and some channel banks, etc.

Excellent!

 What about holding it a week before or after one of the other voip
 conventions in the same location. This might help to attract more people

the trip more productive for those traveling greater distances.
 
 Neil

Actually, we have thought about that too.  The problem is scheduling
so as not to conflict with any of the other shows that our major
sponsors are doing (remember, they help keep the cost of the
conference down).

Within roughly week of AstriCon on one side or ther other we have the
CompTel/ASCENT show, WISPCON, ISPCON, Telecom '05, Phreaknic, ITU
Americas, and TMC's Internet Telephony.  VON is only 3 weeks prior. 
In general the fall is chock-full-o telephony shows.

When is a good week for everyone?  We could move it to Boston 1 week
prior to VON (if that doesn't step on too many toes and we can get
things done that week - it starts with Labor Day).

We could also move it to San Diego in October ahead of Internet
Telephony, but then we compete with Telecom '06 in Mandalay Bay (?).

I really want to make AstriCon work for everyone, so let me know if
either of those suggestions would be a big positive or a big negative.
 (Remember that we would be on a coast either way.)

Ed,

I am really very sorry about that.  I know it will prevent some people
from making it.  Unfortunately, Pulver moved VON to the spot we had
last year (this next week) and we were stuck looking for another week.

We took the only week that didn't have a directly competing show
already scheduled.  It was in no way intended as a slight to the
Jewish community within the Asterisk community.  Next year we will be
more careful and better prepared.

Many humble apologies,

 How about Orlando? Plenty to do here, and no lack of flights!

My only hesitation would be the chance of hurricanes this time of

if we held it in November when the chance of storms drops off.

Actually, my wife's company holds several events each year in Orlando

[Asterisk-Users] Who is going to AstriCon (The Asterisk Conference)?

2005-09-16 Thread Steven Sokol
Hi,

I'm taking a straw-poll to see who out there is planning on going to
AstriCon.  I would like to hear from both new members of the community
and gurus.  What kinds of things would you like to see at an Asterisk
Conference?  What topics are good BOF (Birds Of a Feather - informal
discussion group) fodder?  What parts of Asterisk require the most
attention?

FYI - AstriCon is October 12 - 14 in Anaheim.  For more information on
what we currently have planned, see the web site (listed below).

Thanks,

Steve

 Enjoyed it last year, but putting it on the west coast seems to be pretty
 restrictive. I won't be making it. Atlanta was a good compromise. 
   
 Maybe consider moving it to a more central location next year and I'll be
 back. 
   

Well, I know it's a bit of a flight from coast-to-coast, but the
Californians, Oregonians, and Washingtonians (sp?) did it last year,
so we figured it would be good to give them a break.  We also hoped to
get some Asterisk users from Asia to make the hop.

We're thinking of a central location for 2006 -- Dallas and Denver
(two places that are central and fairly easy to get to by air) are
currently at the top of the list.  What central city sounds good to
you?

Thanks,

Steve

[Asterisk-Users] IAX Phone Pro Beta - New Version Available

2005-08-05 Thread Steven Sokol

[ New Beta Version - Beta Extended ]

A new version of IAX Phone Pro Beta is available.  A few bugs have been 
fixed and the beta has been extended until October 12, 2005 (the date of 
AstriCon 2005).  You can download either a new install (be sure to 
un-install the old version) or just a new binary.


[ IAX Phone Pro Features ]

  * Dial/answer/hold/recall/reject
  * Multi-number advanced speed dial.
  * Standard and innovative Tool Bar skins.
  * Handles iax:, sip: and tel: URLs
  * Integrated web browser for co-browsing
  * Integrated call recording and playback.
  * Advanced phone book with CSV import.
  * Advanced call log with CSV export.
  * Speaker Phone
  * Audio mute.
  * Auto answer.
  * Intercom calling with password.
  * Multi-server registration.
  * Audio Codecs: uLaw, aLaw, GSM, iLBC, Speex.
  * Server-by-server codec setting.
  * Call statistics.
  * Local or server-side call forwarding.
  * Local or server-side do-not-disturb.
  * TAPI integration for Outlook, ACT, Goldmine, etc.
  * Direct IP to IP calling
  * Dial by IAX or SIP URI (URL)

[ Try Out Phone URI/URL Dialing ]

IAX Phone Pro supports the ability to handle telephony URIs (links). 
This feature is great for call centers or web-based contact management 
solutions. When you install the phone, it configures your copy of 
Windows to pass all links marked as iax:, sip:, or tel: to IAX 
Phone Pro. IAX Phone then does its best to place a call to the 
destination number.


You can create these links by using the iax, sip and tel URI schemes. 
Simply use the following examples as a guide:


a href=iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Call Ipsando HQ/a
a href=tel:1000Call Extension 1000/a
a href=tel:18005551212800 Directory Information (US Only)/a
a href=sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Olle Johansson over SIP (requires the 
SIP-Over-IAX)/a


IAX and SIP accept IAX or SIP URIs respectively. TEL allows you to enter 
any extension or dialable number. Note that your browser /may/ ask you 
to authorize each of the URI types (iax, sip, and tel) the first time 
you click on them. You must select OK in order for the calls to go through.

2005-06-06 Thread Steven Sokol

IAX Phone Pro - Open Beta Test

Sokol  Associates is pleased to announce an open beta test of the new 
IAX Phone Pro.  IAX Phone Pro is a professional grade IAX soft phone 
designed for use with the Asterisk open source PBX.

- Dial/answer/hold/recall/reject
- Multi-number advanced speed dial.
- Standard and innovative Tool Bar skins.
- Handles iax:, sip: and tel:; URLs
- Integrated web browser for co-browsing
- Integrated call recording and playback.
- Advanced phone book with CSV import.
- Advanced call log with CSV export.
- Speaker Phone
- Audio mute.
- Auto answer.
- Intercom calling with password.
- Multi-server registration.
- Audio Codecs: uLaw, aLaw, GSM, iLBC, Speex.

FYI - Those of you who downloaded the phone over the weekend: the bug 
related to date formatting has (I believe) been fixed.  Please give it a 
try and let me know.


IAX Phone currently supports the Microsoft Windows family of operating 
systems.  A Mac OS X system may be developed depending on interest.

[Asterisk-Users] AstriCon offers a most sincere and humble apology for the barage of mail...

2004-11-23 Thread Steven Sokol
Dear Asterisk Community,
I would like to offer my most humble apology for the enormous stream of 
mail messages currently battering at your mailboxes.  I was honestly 
trying to help a worthy cause.  Please blame me and only me.  Neither 
Russell nor Josh are at all to blame for this.  Nor, for that matter, is 
Olle.  I am the guilty party.  Please direct all 
anger/outrage/hatred/etc. towards me.

I have not yet tracked down the root cause of the error, but believe me, 
we will NEVER do this again.   My one and only foray into the world of 
spam has shown me the error of my ways.  Please forgive me.

Sincerely,
Steve

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Broadvoice asterisk patch

2004-11-10 Thread Steven Sokol
I can confirm that the patch is legit.  Olle wrote it up last week and 
we have been testing the patch for several days.  I have installed it on 
all of my Asterisk boxes and it appears to do no harm.

The patch is necessary because (I think I have this correct -- forgive 
me if I scramble any of the details) the Asterisk SIP channel was not 
caching the MD5 result of the original authentication dialog, and was 
instead forcing the BroadVoice system to perform the complete 
authentication sequence every 16 seconds for every Asterisk system 
connected.  Apparently this causes a huge drain on their application 
servers. 

If I understand the issue correctly, their SBCs (session border 
controllers) cache the auth for up to 20 seconds.  If you re-register on 
schedule (within 16) the system accepts and extends your registration.  
If it falls outside of the window, or if you send a plain-text REGISTER, 
it forces a complete authentication cycle.

This apparently applies to users running Asterisk boxes behind NATs more 
than to those with Asterisk on public addresses.  The frequent 
registration is used to hold the NAT hole open.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm more concerned about someone trying to spread a virus or something 
like that.  You have to admit that the URGENT, INSTALL THIS message

I tried calling Broadvoice support but they want me to leave a message 
for them to call me later.  Can anyone comment on the validity of this 
message?

Rick,

I just spoke with the hotel and I have special dispensation for AstriCon
attendees to ride the Marriott shuttle regardless of where they are staying.
The hotel considers all attendees guests and will be happy to provide a
pickup.

In order to expedite the pickup, please call the hotel when you arrive at
Brookhaven.  The number is posted on the AstriCon web page.

 that
 the Mariott is 4 miles from Brookhaven, there doesn't seem to be any
 public
 transport between the hotel and Brookhaven and the hotel shuttle is for
 hotel residents only. So... How do I get from Brookhaven to the Marriott?

[Asterisk-Users] AstriCon Update: Very Low Priced Ground Transport Available

2004-07-23 Thread Steven Sokol
-- GOOD NEWS! --

As ground transportation and the costs associated therewith are something of
an issue.  So, in the spirit of making AstriCon available I've contacted the
hotel and arranged/discovered some low cost options:

-- MARTA --

MARTA, the Atlanta mass-transit system (i.e. train) can get you there.  Take
MARTA from the airport north to the Brookhaven station.  The hotel shuttle
will pick you up from the MARTA station.  Total cost: $1.75 each way.

-- AAA Airport Shuttle Service --

AAA will take you directly from the airport to the hotel for $20.00
(normally $25.00 -- we will have a link to a coupon on the site soon).  Same
price to take you back to the airport at the end of the conference.

You will need to make arrangements in advance with AAA.  Their phone number
is 1.800.354.7874.

Details on both options are now on the Hotel  Transportation page on the
AstriCon site: http://www.astricon.net/hotel.shtml

-- Conference IS At The Marriott Century Center --

To clarify a question asked by somebody on the list: The Atlanta Marriott
Century Center IS BOTH the location of the conference AND the hotel in which
we are booking rooms.  You will have NO need of ground transportation once
you reach the hotel (other than for making personal trips to locations
around the area).

-- Transport To Restaurants/Bars/Shopping --

The hotel has a FREE shuttle bus (the same bus as services the MARTA
station) which will be available to take AstriCon participants to/from
nearby restaurants and other destinations.  You simply will need to make a
request at the front desk.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Looking forward to seeing you
in Atlanta.

Thanks,

Steve

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Astricon costs...

2004-07-22 Thread Steven Sokol
 I was just in Atlanta and stayed at the Marriott Marquis. It was a nice
 hotel but it was not cheep. I spent 200 for a last minute booking.
 However, there is a train that runs from the airport and terminates a
 block away. (5$ one way)
 
 The Hilton and Hyatt are next door.
  
 The Marriott Marquis (assume that's where it's going to be held) is a
 decent hotel. Plus, the upstairs bar sometimes has nice ammenities. :)
 

I hate to disappoint anybody, but we're having AstriCon at the Atlanta
Marriott Century Center on the north side of the city just outside the
Buckhead entertainment district.

The Century Center is a different property from the Marquis.  If we had held
AstriCon at the Marquis, the event would be _much_ more expensive.

[Asterisk-Users] Serious issues with current CVS?

2004-06-23 Thread Steven Sokol
Is anybody else having serious issues with the current version from CVS?  I
just compiled and installed it and:

1) I was able to establish one and only one call before things went weird.
2) It stopped responding to IAX calls after the first.  Completely ignored
any subsequent commands, including hangup.
3) It stopped responding to CLI commands.
4) The only way to kill it was to use kill.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks,

Steven

Check out the upcoming ast_data extension to Asterisk.  It will allow you to
connect to PostgreSQL or any other data source you like.

[Asterisk-Users] Rejecting Calls (SIT Tone/Invalid) Across PRI

2004-05-26 Thread Steven Sokol
Question regarding a callback application:

I have a client who wants to allow callers to dial a DID which connects over
a PRI to Asterisk.  Asterisk will be analyzing the ANI data from each call
to that DID and if it recognizes the ANI, it needs to effectively return an
Invalid Number or Not Found some-such message across the PRI to prevent
the user from being billed.

Being a callback app, the system will then queue a callback to the party.

The question is... How do I make Asterisk tell the network to disregard the
billing and indicate to the caller that the callback has been scheduled?  Is
this possible?  Is this legal?

My fallback is simply to not answer the call if the ANI is recognized, then
queue the callback when the incoming attempt terminates (i.e. the caller
hangs up).

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Aastra ADSI phone

2004-05-24 Thread Steven Sokol
 I've received my Aastra 390 phone.  I got the unlock procedure from the
 vendor, and the services button now shows all four entrys as
 available.
 
 When I give the phone ADSIProg() the phone displays:
 Asterisk PBX
 download refused
 Conflict with:
 available
 
 The asterisk.adsi hasn't been changed:
 DESCRIPTION Asterisk PBX
 VERSION 0x02
 SECURITY 0x
 FDN 0x000f
 ...
 
 When I change the FDN number to anything else, the phone replies
 Services full.
 
 Is the phone properly unlocked?  Has anyone seen this before?

Yes.  The security and FDN codes are incorrect (at least for your phone) in
the script.  I just added a patch to bugs to fix this.  Mark also just
updated the VM code to include the proper security and FDN code for the
Comedian Mail script (went into CVS Sun 5/23/2004 8:31 PM) so you may want
to update your VM as well.

Patch your ADSI script with the patch here:
http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001709

Then re-run the ADSIProg and it should work.

NOTE THAT THIS APPLIES _ONLY_ TO THE Sayson Aastra 380 and 480 PHONES.
OTHER ADSI PHONES MAY BE HARDWARE LOCKED AND/OR MAY USE DIFFERENT FDN
VALUES.

Good luck,

[Asterisk-Users] IAX2 NAT / Registration Issue

2004-05-23 Thread Steven Sokol
I have a client using IAX Phone at his office to connect to his Asterisk
located at a data center.  His IAX Phone connects through his office NAT
gateway device (unfortunately I don't know the specific brand and model).
He can make calls just fine.  However, he seems to have issues receiving
calls.

I monitored his Asterisk for a bit and noticed that his IAX Phone, which
registers every 60 seconds, always registers from a different port.  Does
this indicate that 60 seconds is too long, and that the NAT is closing the
hole between registrations?

I will try to find out what type of router/gateway he is using and post it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[Asterisk-Users] I'm in ADSI hell...

2004-05-19 Thread Steven Sokol
Folks,

I am in the process of fighting my way through my first foray into ADSI
phones.  I have a very nice Aastra 480 from Sayson, purchased through
Cylogistics.  Very nice phone.  However, my experience in configuring ADSI
has been pure pain so far, and it's not all working yet...

1)  The locking mechanism for these ADSI phones is... baroque?  Arcane?
Perhaps there is a reason why you would want to lock the services, but thus
far I have not found any.  The phone I got was configured to work with the
hardware codes for Asterisk (as per the Digium web site) but...

A)  The current Comedian Mail does NOT have the proper codes built in.

B) Once you manage to find the hack to add the proper codes, it appears to
want to download the Voicemail script each time you call voicemail.  Not so
good...

The Wiki doesn't have much on configuring ADSI.  I will try to add something
useful if and when I can get the entire thing working.  (There's not much
out on the internet regarding ADSI as a technology since it's a
Belcore/Telcodia standard.)

Does anybody have any suggestions, pointers, tips or a cheat-sheet for ADSI?
I know it can be made to work.  Several of the people at Digium have ADSI
phones on their desks.

Thanks,

Steve

 Is there an easy way to get information about local calling areas out
 of telcos?  I'm trying to get a list of area codes and prefixes in my
 local calling area out of Verizon, and it looks like they've stopped

No.  I actually filed a complaint with my ILEC, my PUC and with the FCC, all
to no avail.  The response was universally You can purchase that
information from a number of 3rd party sources. Which generally meant
TelCordia (evil Belcore) who charges insane amounts for the information.

rantIf you find a source for this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  Personally I think
it should be criminal for them NOT to provide anybody who asks with a list
of what is and is not local.  You should be able to ask, in an automated
way, before each call./rant

 Those are the closest places I've found that have the data you're
 looking for.  There may be some gaps in what they cover and there may be
 some errors.

Close, but no cigar.  What I want is the ability to query by providing:

1) My NPA
2) My NXX
3) My Local Carrier's ID Code (CIC)
4) My Intra-State Carrier's ID Code (CIC)
5) My LD Carrier's ID Code (CIC)
6) Destination Country Code
7) Destination NPA
8) Destination NXX

What I would like to get back is a value indicating the cost-per-minute for
the call (and if possible, the rating period - per second, per 1/10 minute,
round-up to next minute, etc.)

Apparently there's no regulation that requires the phone company to provide
you with any indication that a call is LD, local-LD, intra-LATTA LD, etc.

 I'd like to give this one 10 thumbs down. IMHO a bad idea, a nasty little

Just curious, but why does it strike you as such a bad idea?  Especially if
it was disabled by default.  I can understand you not wanting your system
security or your personal privacy compromised, but I think it would be great
to have it in place for:

A) Manual activation for those who want automated updates.
B) CLI execution for occasional comparison to the current set.

Perhaps it should be possible to flag the request with a token indicating
that you don't want to be part of the survey, and you don't want your
IP/host information stored.  A --anon option, if you will.

 I can only wait until we see M$ like activation implemented... oh the
 joy...

I am going to guess that you're joking.  I just don't see that happening.
Mark and the team at Digium seem dedicated to open source and to the
Asterisk community.  His asking for comments on this idea is a pretty good
indicator of his concern for the community's opinions.

 It would be much better just to have the information present on either the
 Digium site or some other location. I see little point in wasting your
 valuable time doing something like this when there are so many outstanding
 issues and feature requests that could offer more.

Perhaps Mark's time could be spent on other things, but I would still like
to see Digium offer this option -- perhaps one of the other developers could
head up the effort?

Just putting the current version information up on a web page is nice, but
it doesn't allow me to automatically query the system and discover known
issues and possible solutions.  I think that, for service providers that
could very well be a critical next step.  Several of my clients made the
decision to go with RedHat based on their update service (for which they
gladly paid).

I would like to see the idea implemented, but I would like to see the above
security considerations implemented (manual activation, a CLI option, and an
anonymous option).  I would also like to see the service extended into all
of the Applications, Resources, Codecs, Formats, and other major components
of Asterisk.  It would be great to know when changes to both the core
Asterisk engine and the associated modules are made, what the changes are,
and also when new applications/resources/codecs, etc. are added to the CVS.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

 Does Asterisk work with Lucent or any other PBX phone systems
 

Sure.  You can use Asterisk as a VoIP gateway to your existing legacy PBX.
You can't plug Lucent's (Avaya's) DCP, MLX, or ATL phone sets into an
Asterisk box -- the protocols are all proprietary.  But you can certainly
connect between the systems using analog or T1/Ei connections.

[Asterisk-Users] Presence (was FW: pda skype)

2004-04-07 Thread Steven Sokol
Dean Collins just sent out a message a second ago (responding to an earlier
posting regarding the new Skype PDA client).  He said:

Presence based information is the biggest 'seller' in the IP PBX market at
the moment, being able to tell what/where a person is certainly driving a
lot of sales through my door.

I would like to take a moment to second his message.  Every presentation at
the VON show concurs with his opinion.

PRESENCE IS LIKELY THE MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE ADDITION TO ASTERISK THAT COULD
BE MADE AT THIS TIME.

I know there are people out there working on or waiting for all kinds of
features.  And I understand that all of them are important in one way or
another.  But THE feature that turns up time and again on RFPs for VoIP
phone systems is PRESENCE.  Like it or not, managers like to know where
their people are.  Friends like knowing where their friends are.  Everybody
likes being able to communicate how they want, when they want.

This is the next step beyond the follow-me/find me applications.  Beyond the
basics of VoIP.  And this step is driving people to deploy VoIP systems
(including Asterisk).

Perhaps the gory details of implementation are best reserved for the
Developer list, but I think everybody out there can comment on the ideas:

HOW DO YOU SEE PRESENCE INTEGRATING WITH ASTERISK?

 That's specifically what I was asking about...
 
 Has anyone tried to decipher the ETR signaling protocol? Or is it such a
 closely guarded Lucent/Avaya secret as to make the formula for Coca-Cola
 look like an open-source recipe?
 

ETR (Enhanced Tip/Ring) supposedly uses some variety of serial protocol over
two lines to provide the screen functionality.  The voice channel is still
POTS.  These phones are sold with the Partner system and can be added to the
Magix systems using an ETR blade.

Here in the states we could be jailed for trying to reverse engineer the
serial display protocol (at least, in theory -- I don't know if it's been
tested yet) as a violation of the evil DCMA.

Anybody know about the other core Avaya protocols: specifically DCP and its
cousin TDL.  DCP (Digital Communications Protocol) has been used for years
on the Definity line.  Somewhere in the mid 1990s they cut it from 4 wires
to two wires.  The two wire version was ported to the Merlin Magix platform
and is called TDL which I have been told means Two wire DigitaL??

If you have a large investment in the Avaya sets, it might be nice to have a
bridge device to convert to SIP or H323 or whatever.  I saw somebody at VON
who offered a device that they claimed did just that.  Don't remember who
just now.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] The maximum capacity of MeetMe

2004-04-05 Thread Steven Sokol
 I regret that I've only used MeetMe a few times, and only up to two users.
 
 Perhaps others that are using MeetMe could comment on the number of
 concurrent conferences and total users they have asterisk running with.
 The
 specs of the systems involved would be most helpful.
 

I have set up a conference with four people on a very low-end box.  The
voice quality was very good.  All four were connected using VoIP.  Three
were using IAX2 clients, and one was using a SIP hardphone.  I suspect the
system could have easily scaled much further -- the CPU and memory usage
were fairly low.

Jeremy McNamera told me that he has run conferences with 184 users (two of
the Quad-PRI cards) with out any problems.  I also ran into a number of
users at the VON show who are using Asterisk as a conference server
(including the Pingtel team!).  

As for system specs, I believe that Jeremy's system is based on a
dual-processor (P-IV 2.4 GHz) Dell 1750 server with several GB of RAM.  My
low end box was a 1.7 GHz Celeron with 256 MB.

[Asterisk-Users] Spring VON Wrap Up

 service, I indicated that VON had become Infomercial
Central.  I copied Carl Ford from Pulver.com on my message (he was acting as
MC for the sessions).  He quickly replied to my message, and the crux of his
message was correct: the technology is largely in place.  The next few years
will be about marketing and evangelizing VoIP to the larger public.  (The
other half of the story has to do with a speaker who did not making it --
resulting in two ATT presentations essentially back to back.)

to one of these events do -- if for no other reason than to see Mark's magic
phone.

[In Conclusion]
VON was interesting.  Definitely more business focused that technology
focused, but that's to be expected.  VoIP has grown up.  Technology
questions may be addressed later in the summer at the VON developers summit
(anybody here planning on going?).  If you are moving into the VoIP
business, or want to get a feel for the market, I highly recommend you
attend the Fall VON show in Boston.

Opinions are mine and mine alone.  Please don't blame them on anybody else.

Thanks,

Steve

 Could someone explain to me why anyone in their right mind would ever
 want to run VoIP (or any lossy real-time data) over TCP?  Unless I'm
 missing something, the effects of packet loss would be almost perfectly
 pessimal.  Every time you lose a packet, the receiver stalls and then
 can't catch up, so you get horrifically huge delays.  Does it actually
 gain something for anyone doing voice or video?
 

TCP/TLS would be used for the SIP messaging which handles call setup,
teardown, and other non-Realtime functions.  The voice stream will still be
handled via RTP which is a UDP-based protocol.

The reason for doing the call setup as TCP is to allow for TLS encryption.
The SIP messages themselves are simply bits of ASCII text (much like SMTP
messages).  Currently Asterisk does SIP over UDP only (I think...).  In
order to support SIPS (Secure SIP, like HTTPS) we need to build a version of
chan_sip (or chan_sip2 ;-) that supports SIP over TCP.  The voice stream
will remain UDP an therefore not succumb to enormous delay.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] WiSIP Firmware Version F?

 on your asterisk box:
 
 tcpdump port 5060

Ok.  Got it.  Pulver had the outbound sip proxy port set to something other
than the standard SIP port (5060).  I changed it registered just fine.

One other question.  Do you get caller id with incoming calls to your WiSIP?
I don't seem to get anything.

[Asterisk-Users] WiSIP Firmware Version F?

2004-04-02 Thread Steven Sokol
Greetings,

I purchased a WiSIP at the VON conference and am now trying to configure it
to work with Asterisk.  I have read all of the previous postings regarding
the WiSIP and most of the information apparently does not apply to the
version of firmware installed on my phone (version WF.00.0F).

I cannot get the WiSIP to register with my Asterisk box.  It leases an IP
from my DHCP server, then immediately says Not Registered.  I am running
SIP debugging on Asterisk and I never see it try.

I have tried hard-coding a peer with the proper IP address and that does not
seem to help.  I can neither call it, nor make calls from it.

Any suggestions (or perhaps older versions of the firmware that work) would
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

RE: [Asterisk-Users] WiSIP Firmware Version F?

 Is your sip bound to an ip address on the server?  If the Wisip were
 making
 it to Asterisk and failing to register you would know it because it would
 retry every 2 seconds.

I don't believe it is making it to Asterisk.  I have tried changing the SIP
Proxy IP field to both the IP address and the host name of my Asterisk box
to no avail.  I never see so much as an attempt to register.  Weird, huh?

Any further thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

There are carriers using Asterisk to terminate thousands of lines.  NuFone
has a data center with 80 Asterisk servers in place.  These installations
require a bit more engineering than the typical PBX server, but the system
does scale to extremely large systems.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] IAX2 as an IETF Standard?

2004-03-25 Thread Steven Sokol
Here's a recap of what I am hearing:

1)  Everybody (thus far) is in favor of trying to standards-track (or at
least do an Information RFC) on IAX2.

2)  IAX2 needs to have AES encryption added prior to submission.

3)  IAX2 needs to have non pin-wheeling NAT support added (i.e. support for
intra-NAT operations with an external or extra-NAT located server).

4)  We need to find somebody or a committee of people who can take the time
to write up the RFC and (perhaps) research the process of submitting the RFC
for standards tracking.

Here's my additional request for the protocol prior to
finalization/formalization:

5)  IAX2 needs to be able to optionally limit an IAX user/login to a single
session.  I have written this up in great detail at: 

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001164

I think this is necessary from a network/user management standpoint.

Has anybody spoken with Mark about this?  I know he was thinking in terms of
creating an RFC some time ago, and as leader and owner of the copyright on
the prime implementation of IAX2, we could use his input and blessing.

Here is a link to the IETF's RFC on submitting RFCs:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2026.txt

Here is a link to the IPTel working group home page:

http://www.softarmor.com/iptel/

It looks like we have to create an Internet Draft which is assigned to the
relevant working group for revision, questions, comments, more revision,
then it may or may not become an RFC.  Unfortunately, the IPTel working
group appears to be made up of people who are heavily invested in SIP.

Is anybody currently active on any of the working groups in the IETF?  Does
anybody know anybody in the IPTel group?  That may help us get started.

Thoughts?

files as the official RFC format?  What a HORRIBLE format for

ASTRICON

It's (semi) official.  The Digium team will be joining us for tasty Mexican
food and drinks.  We are meeting on Wednesday at the front entrance to the
convention center (actually in front of Exhibit Hall C  D, by the fountain
plaza) at 6:00 PM.

The current plan is to head to the Mexicali Grill at 6:15 PM for drinks and
dinner.  Below are links to the Grill and to the convention center web
sites, as well as a MapQuest link for directions if you want to go directly
to the Grill.

If you have not yet sent me something letting me know you are coming, please
do.  I need to get a count to the restaurant 48 hours in advance.  So far it
looks like there will be 12 - 14 of us.

[Asterisk-Users] IAX2 as an IETF Standard?

2004-03-24 Thread Steven Sokol
I have seen a number of postings cross this list that mention the
possibility of standards-tracking IAX2 with the IETF (generating an RFC,
etc.).  Has that gone anywhere?  What would it take to make it happen?

Several of my clients have indicated that they love the firewall/NAT
neutrality of IAX2, but that thus far very few equipment vendors have picked
up on it because it isn't a formal standard.  I agree with them.

So far as I know, IAX2 is the easiest VoIP protocol to implement.  Even with
STUN and other complex/cumbersome add-ons, SIP is a royal pain to implement
in most cases.  The same with H323.  In fact, the only thing that seems to
be even close is whatever protocol Skype is using, but they're not open...

On the other hand, there may be reasons, both technical and
political/economic, for keeping IAX2 as an in-house affair.  What do you
guys think?

Thanks,

Steve

[Asterisk-Users] Informal Astricon at the VON Show in Santa Clara...

2004-03-22 Thread Steven Sokol
Anybody out there either going to the Spring VON show in Santa Clara or live
in the Bay area?  I'm trying to put together an informal Astricon as an
after-hours event for Asterisk users.  Mark (and presumably Greg and
Malcolm) from Digium will (tentatively) be there.

I was hoping I could get a head-count so I can find a venue of the proper
proportion.  I _think_ the event will be either Monday night or Wednesday
night, since Jeff Pulver has a huge party scheduled for Tuesday.

If you would be interested in getting together, please let me know.  No
obligations, just a rough estimate so we don't wind up packed into a tiny
bar or something.

Thanks,

Steve

Are you natted (behind a NAT screen)?

Do you have any other SIP devices connected to the same network segment as
your WiFi Access Point?  Are they working correctly?

I would try turning off the canreinvite (set = 0) and, if there's a NAT
between you and the Asterisk, turn on nat support (nat = yes).

Good luck,

 Hi Folks,
 
 Took delivery of 3 of these today and am having problems. Pulver tech
 support is pretty much non existant so I came here.
 
 Problem is this. Phone configured to talk to * as extn 3405. * shows that
 3405 has registered and a sip show peers reveals its ip address etc. Make
 a call from the WiSIP to any extension and * shows the call getting as far
 as the native bridge. call fails after that point. If I let the VM pick up
 * plays the VM messages and then hangs up. At no time does the WiSIP think
 its connected.
 
 In the reverse direction, a call to the WiSIP gets dumped into VM straight
 away.
 
 If I call the phone by its URI it rings but the calling phone never thinks
 the call has been answered by the WiSIP.
 
 I have 711 as the codec and inband DTMF (which the WiSIP thinks should be
 2833).
 
 Any ideas ...
 
 Thanks

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cannot use # key to transfer calls

2004-03-11 Thread Steven Sokol
Does the entry for your extension include the 't' option? 

Example: Dial(SIP/|20|t)

The 't' option allows you (the called party) to transfer.  The 'T' option
can also be added to allow the calling party to transfer.

See: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+Dial

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Cannot use # key to transfer calls
 
 I cannot use the # key to transfer a call. I have two kinds of SIP phones,
 Grandstream and IpDialog, and the # key cannot be used to transfer on
 either
 one. If I press the # key during a call, I hear the touchtone for it, but
 Asterisk does nothing.
 The documentation for parking a call says that I must first transfer the
 call using #, so that's why I need this feature to work.  Thanks for any
 pointers.

[Asterisk-Users] IAX Phone: Now Supports Windows 98/ME

2004-03-11 Thread Steven Sokol
Having received several requests from users of Windows 98 and ME, I have
changed the installer for IAX Phone to install on those versions of Windows.

Please note that I don't have any Win 9X or ME boxes about to test on, so I
cannot guarantee is proper operation on those platforms. 

grin (But then again, its beta code and I don't guarantee anything about
it anyway so what the heck?) /grin

Please let me know what issues you find.

While you're testing these, could you give IAX Phone a shot. I just want to
see if you run into any serious differences/errors.  BTW - Echo Cancellation
does not work in ANY of our impelemntations (DIAX, iaxComm, IAX Phone).

[Asterisk-Users] Anybody know about the Sayson 480i VoIP Screen Phone?

2004-03-02 Thread Steven Sokol
In looking for a screen phone to use with Asterisk I came across Sayson's
new Aastra 480i SIP/MGCP/H323 screen phone.  It looks just like the ADSI
phone but offers dual 10/100 Ethernet jacks and apparently some kind of
programmability much like the ADSI phone has, but using XML.

Before I go pestering the nice people at Sayson, I thought I would see if
anybody here knew anything about it - including details on the
licensing/locking scheme.  Also, any guess as to the price would be cool.
I'm guessing it will be more than the equivalent ADSI.

[Asterisk-Users] IAX Phone Bug Fix

2004-02-27 Thread Steven Sokol
A number of IAX Phone users have reported a bug which causes the call to
drop the audio stream after 65 seconds.  The issue only seems to occur when
both parties to the call are using IAX Phone or another iaxClient-based
phone (DIAX, iaxComm, etc.) and when one or both legs of the call traverse a
NAT.

Steve Kann, master of iaxClient was kind enough to provide a fix for this
issue.  His update has been compiled into a new version of the IAX2 DLL file
which can be downloaded here: 

http://www.sokol-associates.com/Downloads/wiax2.dll

Instructions for updating your installation of IAX Phone are available here:

http://www.sokol-associates.com/

Please try it out and let me know if you have any further issues.

[Asterisk-Users] IAX Phone Update - Slight Change

2004-02-27 Thread Steven Sokol
Oops.

I forgot to include a link to a new DLL that is required in order for the
new version of wiax2.dll to operate.  Very sorry about that.  Here are the
links to the _2_ dll files you need to download and copy into the working
folder for IAX Phone:

http://www.sokol-associates.com/Downloads/wiax2.dll
http://www.sokol-associates.com/Downloads/libsndfile.dll

If you just copy the new version of wiax2, you will get runtime errors when
you try to start IAX Phone.

Yep.  I did order the API as well.  They make you sign an NDA (pretty basic

[Asterisk-Users] IaxTel: Using IaxTel Numbers As Asterisk DIDs

2004-02-16 Thread Steven Sokol
I was wondering if there was any easy way to direct incoming calls from
IaxTel to specific extensions without having to create a separate context
for each?  It seems to be pretty strait forward with FWD, SIPPhone and other
SIP based services -- you just add /Extension to the end of the
registration.

If there isn't any direct way to do that from within the registration
statement, how hard would it be for somebody to work with Mark and create an
edit screen for your IaxTel account that allowed you to set the
context/extension for the call to reach.  That would make the number useful
ONLY as an  Asterisk DID, but that's how many of us use IAXtel.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

[Asterisk-Users] Anybody going to the Spring VON converence [OT]

2004-02-12 Thread Steven Sokol
I was wondering if anybody was planning on attending Jeff Pulver's Spring
VON conference in Santa Clara.  I am thinking about going and was hoping, if
enough Asterisk people are going to be there, if we couldn't hold some kind
of ad hoc Astericon or something.  Perhaps we could rent a room at the hotel
for an evening get together or something?  I know Mark will be there.  Might
be kind of fun.

Also, I am still trying to decide if I should go for the full conference or
just a few days.  Any thoughts?

Steve

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Anybody going to the Spring VON converence [OT]

2004-02-12 Thread Steven Sokol
 So here's a dumb question, but what's the VON conference?  I would also be
 interested in talking to others using Asterisk.
 
 Chris
 

[Steven Sokol] VON is the Voice-Over-the-Network conference put on by Jeff
Pulver from Free World Dialup (FWD).  It is one of several national
conferences related to VoIP.  This year will be my first, so I don't know
exactly what to expect.  I just figured that it would be a good chance to
get a snapshot of the current state of the industry.

My hope is to either rent a room in the hotel or perhaps a nearby restaurant
or bar and get the Asterisk community together for a face-to-face.
Eventually it might be worth having a conference devoted to Asterisk and
things related.  This could be a cool first step.

If you live in the Santa Clara/San Jose area consider it, even if you don't
wind up going to VON.  I'll post the time/place if it works out.

Regards,

Steve

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Direct mailbox transfer

2004-02-12 Thread Steven Sokol
Actually, you just need to create an extension.  Here's mine:

Exten = _*55.,1,Answer()
Exten = _*55.,2,Voicemail(${EXTEN:3})
Exten = _*55.,3,Hangup()

Transfer the party to *55 (where  is the mailbox to transfer into).

There may be more elegant ways to do this, but it works for me.

 How would one implement a direct mailbox transfer using the macros?
 What I want to do is have the person who answers the call to be able to
 transfer the call directly into a persons unavailable mailbox.  Thanks

 Yeh, but what kind of beer do they have on tap?

[Steven Sokol] 
For what the thing costs, they _should_ have Samuel Smiths or perhaps Chimay
(sp?) but like most hotels they probably have the usual swill plus Sam
Adams.  If we have Astericon, we'll BOOB (bring our own beer).

RE: [Asterisk-Users] IAX call problems

2004-01-30 Thread Steven Sokol
Rattana,

I have had the same problem with IAX Phone.  I think there is still
something slightly off in iaxClient_lib.c or one of the associated files.  I
am trying to figure it out myself.  Please send me any additional debugging
files as you generate them.

Thanks,

Steve

RE: [Asterisk-Users] New Windows IAX Client

2004-01-22 Thread Steven Sokol
I'll add these to the wish list.  I just put up a new set of pages
related to IAX Phone.  You can find them at:

http://www.sokol-associates.com/IaxPhone.htm

One of the new pages is a bug/feature request tracker.  Feel free to add
as many feature requests as you wish.

Thanks for the compliment.  It has been a fun project.  Always glad to
see others enjoy the results.

Steven

   Steven,
 
   This is really great!!   Very professional and features comparable
to
 what
 one find in major brands softphones.
 
   I wonder if it is possible/planned..
 
   - Programmable Directory Number buttons (DNs linked to specific
 buttons)?
   - A special version capable to run from removable media (USB or FDD)
 with
 no need from setup installation?  This is great for frequent travelers
and
 for first contact on site demos.
   - video phone feature?
 
 
   Regards
 
 
   Sam\\\

* Requires a small change to chan_iax2.c in order to return valid
message counts.  See the support page.
   
** Requires a special macro in extensions.conf that replaces the
caller's real number with a special Intercom indicator ID.  See
the
support page.

[Asterisk-Users] Source code for Iax Phone (the new IAX client) now available

2004-01-22 Thread Steven Sokol
The source code for IAX Phone is now available.  You can get it from the
downloads page at the main Iax Phone site:

http://www.sokol-associates.com/IaxPhone.htm

The package currently contains the source for the GUI portion of the
phone, plus the ActiveX components that interface with the IAX server.
The code for the lowest-level portions of the project (the iaxClient
library that creates the WIAX1 and WIAX2 DLLs) will be released once the
iaxClient community has synchronized.

If anybody out there is a Windows coder and would like to work on
improving this version (especially the stability) please let me know.
If anybody out there would like to take on the challenge of porting this
to Linux and Mac, please also contact me.

Thanks,

Steven

P.S. - You can download the binary installation package from that same
location.

The bug/feature tracker page is here:
