I happen to be travelling a lot and actually know about the difference between wishful thinking and reality when it comes to make VoIP calls in hotels, airports, public WiFi hotspots etc. I have yet to see anything that works as consistently and reliably as IAX. Fellow co-travellers with their X-Lite X-ten tunneling setups and Skype have not as consistenly nor reliably been able to make calls as I have using Asterisk on my Powerbook, which is plug and play if you use the Asterisk Assistants for MacOSX. > If we don't do this, then they will continue to be attracted to > proprietary vendors who are willing to offer such solutions. People will always be attracted by proprietary vendors who want to unload their garbage on Joe Average. Take Microsoft with their portfolio of the worst technology products in the history of mankind. Having said that, I do agree that we need to do more in the ease-of-use nice eyecandy GUI department with Asterisk and IAX based solutions. rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
