But I don't think just saying 'use IAX2' is going to enlighten anyone. That's why I included the whole Dial(Technology/resource) definition. There has to be a channel driver for the technology and the technology has to have a configuration file to assign the resources. I put that all in there so he could UNDERSTAND. And maybe others reading the list could understand it as well. And I guess IAX2 vs. IAX is a real bad example.
