[Asterisk-Users] Skinny

[Jeremy McNamara]

At the present time you have to have a VALID ip address in bindaddr for 
Skinny to work.  If bindaddr is either 0.0.0.0 or simply commented out 
all packets requiring the IP address contain 127.0.0.1.  I forgot their 
nick, but someone in IRC recommended we make Asterisk be smart enough 
not to pick that interface, but I'm not sure of that is the problem or 
not.  I simply have not had the time to investigate it whatsoever.

Also, I have been advised against providing specific material resources 
to make Skinny work with Asterisk, especially the binary firmware 
images. So, your on your own for the firmware.   I recommend a CCM v3.1 
or higher as Cisco was nice enough to give us an XML based config file.  
Someone needs to do some research to see if having a SmartNet on the 
phone would be sufficient enough to be able to LEGALLY use the Skinny 
firmware.

And, yes I do have my 7910 working with Asterisk. Which, btw, was 
graciously donated by a generous Asterisk user (he knows who he is), 
....Granted only with ulaw and none of the soft buttons actually do 
anything, but I can and do make calls with it all day long. Hopefully in 
the next week or two I can find some time to spend on fixing all of the 
various annoying issues with chan_skinny or please feel free to 
contribute disclaimed patches.
